Good work leads to promotions -- and promotions from development to management come with more than increases in responsibility. While you might get promoted because you've been a great developer, you'll need a new skill set to be a great manager.

During this session, Kat will talk about adjusting from life as a developer to life as a manager, including:

Avoiding the pacesetting leader trap.
Giving performance feedback that goes beyond code reviews.
Giving room to make mistakes (while mitigating the big risks).
Investing time in people, not projects.
This session is targeted toward new managers and developers considering management, by a former developer who made the leap and loved it.
