Tech Lead Squad 💪 - What's on Tap This Week (11/18)

Plus, some new hotness: free, live tech lead training on Saturday!

Hey tech leads!

Sorry for the radio silence this week.

I dropped a quick note on the tech lead podcast last week about this, but it was a crazy travel week that sucked up my prep time last weekend and, yeah, basically blew my tech lead week.

Trying something new and exciting!

This week, let’s keep with the format from the past few months: three posts on this list and three podcasts.

But we're going to do something shiny and new this week: this coming Saturday, Nov. 23, I'm going to run a free, live training session on How To Be a Tech Lead.

I'll record it if I can get all the technology together (streaming software is a new thing for me, and seems to suck on macOS Catalina), but this is roughly how I’m hoping it will go:

Hope you'll be the first to attend our first of, hopefully, many sessions.

About this week’s tech lead calendar

So this week's episodes are going to be focused on pulling everything together and making sure I've got the material ready for Saturday.

On Monday, we're going to focus on summarizing some of the main points about what tech leads do, how technical you should be, and why we need the tech lead role.

On Wednesday, we're going to explore the Four Core. We'll start with the first two: listening and defining technical visions. This is going to be a little new, because I'm going to go a little more technical than I have in the past. 

On Friday, we'll round out a discussion of the other two of the Four Core, having a high engagement level and tracking and adjusting. Both of these go pretty close together.

Going to be a fun week and funner weekend!
