Back to Basics: Love Your People
Design Leader
We’ve all had a bad manager. The tougher question is: have you ever caught YOURSELF being that bad manager? It’s OK. We’ve all been there. Design leadership is hard. There’s a lot going on, and too often, people management slips to the side of the desk.
In my short talk, we’re going back to the basics – you gotta love your people. Together, we’ll explore what this really means, and I’ll share a few practical strategies you can bring back to your team the very next day. When your team succeeds, you succeed, and so does design.
