Manager as a Mentor, Not a Coordinator – Teaching Prioritization Instead of Micromanagement
16:40 - 17:10, 27th of May (Tuesday) 2025/ DEV ARCHITECTURE STAGE
In this talk, I’ll share how I learned to scale my impact as a manager by doing less, not more. Too many managers burn out by taking ownership of their team’s priorities, stifling both their own capacity and their team’s growth. It’s a recipe for disaster, especially when managing multiple teams. But there’s a better way: teaching your team how to prioritize on their own. By fostering autonomy and sound decision-making, you unlock faster decisions, better outcomes, and—bonus—you avoid manager burnout. Join me to discover how shifting from an “assistant” to a “mentor” mindset can transform your leadership and your team’s success.
