Leading Technical Teams: Master Team Dynamics

The training focuses on the team development side of leadership challenges, such as mastering team dynamics, building high-performing teams, fostering a psychologically safe and innovative environment, and promoting self-organization.

Target audience:

  • Engineering Managers
  • Technical Team Managers
  • Technical Team Leads

This training will be useful not only for leaders of pure technical teams but also for leaders of teams of knowledge workers who:

  1. Have a common goal
  2. Need each other to achieve this goal

so that we are part of a real team, not a working group.

About The Program

The program focuses on leading teams of knowledge workers in a complex world, starting from underlying principles and continuing with concrete tools and techniques.

We will learn how leading in the knowledge and creative work era differs from previous management models and how leaders can foster an environment where people feel safe and motivated to do their best, promoting self-organization and innovation.

It will provide a solid foundation for understanding team dynamics and team development phases, addressing possible dysfunctions, and creating a safe environment that promotes self-organizing and innovation.

In a more advanced version of the program, we will learn about different leadership styles and how to apply them to different situations and stages of team development, as well as go deeper into coaching the team and facilitating team decision-making.

It’s rare that you come across a standout talent like Julia. I was particularly impressed by Julia’s ability to communicate and educate people in Agile Ways of working. The way she handles groups, it seemed to come perfectly naturally to her. Her energy is contagious and it is impossible not to feel energized after meeting her.

Daniel Carvalho

Thank you very much for your effort to train 20 people from IT cross-functional team about Agile principles and Scrum. We had a really valuable training with an interactive approach. Specially big thanks for those beautiful worksheets made by yourself! I really liked also the energy and calmness you brought to the audience, and you didn’t “oversell” yourself.  So overall – a spectacular experience I would definitely recommend to other teams also.
