“Complete Guide to Earning Your New Team's Trust” is ELC Meetup #10, held at Make in Prague on 9 January 2024.

The Engineering Leaders Community meets every month. Join ELC to get the next invite, or pitch a talk for a future night.

“I’m leading a new team and I don’t want to screw up.”

Whether you’re forming a new team, restructuring an existing one, or stepping into an inherited team situation, this meetup offers valuable insights and strategies:

Situation

Companies keep cutting costs and restructuring, layoffs and team reorganisations included, and each round makes the engineering leader’s job harder.

This session is specifically designed for current and aspiring engineering leaders who are navigating these tumultuous changes.

Here’s what you’ll gain:

Foundation: Learn how to establish a strong base for your team by setting clear expectations with your teammates and your manager, positioning yourself effectively as the middleman.

New Team Victory: We will provide specific steps, tips, and tricks as guidelines for adopting a new team. Discover what aspects are critical to address, how to set expectations correctly, and how to set your new team up for success.

Building Trust with a New Team: Explore the key factors in gaining the trust of your new team members and learn effective strategies for doing so.

Smooth Transitions in Challenging Times: Understand the intricacies of leading through team mergers, takeovers, or layoffs, and learn how to handle these situations with tact and empathy.

This meetup isn’t just about learning; it’s an opportunity to connect with peers facing similar challenges. It’s a platform for sharing experiences, strategies, and forging connections that help navigate the changing landscape of engineering management.

Join us to become a leader who not only manages but also leads by example.
