Engineering Leaders across industries and timezones are struggling to retain technical talent even after offering the shiniest of benefits and perks. Why is that?

Instead, it focuses on the needs of the developers, their technical and career growth, and building positive team cultures. This session will cover 7 different tactics to practice Developer First leadership. These include empowering others, the importance of diversity & inclusion on our dev teams, establishing a positive developer onboarding experience, and how to become an authentic and respected leader.
