Module 7 : Personal development

Session summary

Over the past six sessions, we’ve covered the core tenets of being an engineering leader - but you can’t grow and nurture your teams without also growing yourself.

And finding time to devote to self-improvement can be a challenge, and it always seems like the easiest thing to move down your priority list. It’s also harder for senior leaders to receive actionable feedback on their own work.

In this final session, we’ll help you work out how to change that and how you can be more effective with your learning time.

You’ll leave this session with:

  • Strategies for thinking about your own personal development
  • Thoughts on growth for both the people management and individual contributor pathways
  • New methods of self-reflection and how to create space to do so
  • How to solicit effective feedback as you increase in seniority
