Technical experts to leadership: how do you set your best engineers up for success? (Webinar)

Many Microsoft partners know the pattern well: a brilliant engineer, architect or technical specialist excels in their role, earns trust across the business, and is promoted into management. But the skills that made them exceptional as an individual contributor do not always prepare them for the emotional, behavioural and people-focused demands of leadership.

That is the focus of the 3rd IAMCP International People, Culture and Performance Committee webinar. This interactive virtual session will explore how organizations can better support talented technical experts as they step into leadership roles, helping them build confidence, lead teams effectively and avoid the common traps that can make the transition difficult.

The webinar will be designed for Microsoft Partners, tech leaders, HR professionals and engineering directors. The 60-minute session will feature two dynamic keynote segments: one focused on the emotional and behavioural shift required for leadership, and another offering practical, actionable strategies for new tech managers. The session will close with an open Q&A, giving attendees the opportunity to crowdsource real-world challenges and share advice from their own organizations. Join us for a practical conversation on how to help great technical talent become confident, capable and effective leaders.
