What you should know about tech leadership
by Ben Waymark

This talk is a "back to basics" discussion about being a technical leader and what it means for you either as a tech leader, an aspiring tech leader or as someone who wants to avoid leadership all together and stick to engineering! In the talk we'll discuss the four pillars of executive tech leadership: Product, Technology, Team and Budget and how to balance progressing each of those. We will also look a bit at the emotional impact of leadership and “imposter syndrome”.
