How to deliver well without burning people out with Ian Yamey

Welcome to our first Tech Leader Chat of 2023!

With the market contraction increasing pressure on teams to deliver, more and more engineering leaders have been considering how they can deliver well without burning out their teams.

While the pressure to delivery faster can feel perpetual, we know that burnout can lead to longer-term problems with reduced productivity, decreased motivation on the team, and even mental health issues for team members.

So how can we meet delivery goals while still supporting our team to thrive over the long-term?

On this question we’ll be hearing from Ian Yamey (co-founder at Retirable, previously CTO at Quadpay and founding CTO at Policygenius). Ian has built and scaled engineering teams from 3 to 80, with all the delivery pressures that come with that. Throughout it all he's maintained a strong focus on people – how to support the holistic wellbeing of individuals and teams. We're excited to hear how he's put these principles into practice!
