Vilnius Tech Leads

The theme for the sixth meetup of our third season: conflict. The word "conflict" is often associated with negative situations. But inherently, conflict is neither good nor bad. In fact, engaging in conflict can have positive effects on relationships and organizations. How do we engage in conflict? How do we manage them when we see others engaged in them? Where do conflicts live in our organization's culture? Here's who's gonna try to answer these and other questions by telling their stories: Vaidas Pilkauskas (Server Guild Lead @ Wix) Karolis Noreika (Scrum Master @ Danske) Giedrius Jaraminas (Engineering Manager @ Uber) See you there! If you'd like to speak at this or a future Vilnius Tech Leads meetups, message one of the organizers or email mindaugas at vinted dot com.

The theme for the seventh meetup of our third season: org-design. Most organisations try to create structures that allow for efficient decisions, workflows and clear responsibilities. And yet no two organisations are quite the same. They are organised differently, have distinct structures and divide up responsibilities in their own way. What's the best way to design an organisation? Or is there the right way? These and other questions will be discussed during this meetup. We'll also have speakers telling their own stories about org-design: Agnius Paradnikas (Development Department Manager @ Visma) Vilius Česnauskas (Head of Organizational Development @ NFQ) Vidas Vasiliauskas (CEO Co-Founder @ Eylean) See you there!

The theme for the eighth and final meetup of our third season: stress. Feeling overloaded? Struggling to cope? You're not alone. Leadership is a demanding job. It's difficult to be effective, when under a lot of stress. Stress can be harmful and even have a negative effect on your health. For all leaders, it's key to understand what triggers stress and learning to deal with it. Let's discuss how to help ourselves and then to help others. Here's who gonna share their stories: Aliona Viršutienė (Leadership Consultant @ Agile Coach) Justas Gudavičius (Lead of Engineering Unit @ Devbridge) Gintarė Morkūnaitė (Platform Product Owner @ TGLAB) See you there!

The theme for the first meetup of the fourth season: impossible. The fourth season of Vilnius Tech Leads felt impossible four years ago. We didn't even dare to dream that far ahead. Let's start this season by talking about impossible objectives. Sometimes, those goals are set by our leads and we are compelled to try and reach them. Some other times, preposterous goals are created for us by us. Let's discuss what kind of skills, structures, situations help and allow us to try and reach the seemingly impossible. Here's who gonna tell their stories: Eglė Radvilė (CTO @ Vilnius) See you there!

The theme for the second meetup of the fourth season: remote. We've discussed distributed teams and org-design in previous meetups. During both of those, we've touched on remote, but now let's dedicate a meetup fully to remote work. Remote can have many benefits. How to take advantage of those? But there are also downsides and fears. Will employees slack off when not in the office? How to mitigate the drawbacks? Let's discuss these and other topics, starting with the stories from: Ilma Nausėdaitė (COO @ MailerLite) See you there!
