Summary
As an engineering manager, chances are we are experts in the area we manage. But as our career advances, leading areas outside of our speciality is inevitable.

Meet your peers as we discuss the challenges leaders go through at this juncture and how they can shift their mindset from specialty leadership to versatile leadership.
