Help your Team : Be the Dumbest in the Room

Modern software is very much a team work, velocity of your team is defined by the slowest person in the team, if you want the team to go faster, we need to uplift and support everyone, especially the slower team members.

It's natural for leaders with tech backgrounds to take charge in tech discussions – How do I know ? I've been there. However, to foster team growth, it's crucial to consider whether this approach is truly beneficial?

This presentation will explore strategies and methods that empower team members by encouraging self-reflection and visualisation through taking a back seat and asking them the right questions.
