Abstract
Engineering management isn’t a promotion, it’s a career shift from solving technical problems to navigating human complexity. In the AI era, this shift becomes even more challenging as leaders must make high-stakes decisions under uncertainty and guide teams through rapid change.
This talk is a condensed “management lab” for senior engineers and new managers, offering practical frameworks for building psychological safety, running effective feedback systems, coaching for autonomy, and making AI-aware decisions.
You will leave with actionable tools, not theory, to help you lead with clarity, confidence, and strategic impact from day one.
