Leading successful remote teams
Talk (60 min)
In this session Callum shares his near-decade of experience leading successful software teams distributed across vast timezones and continents (UK and Australia). He'll reveal his approaches to implementing processes, coding standards, and collaboration tools to keep teams running like a well oiled machine despite physical distance.
Let's discuss some tried and tested approaches for ensuring remote teams thrive – with a particular focus on supporting mental health, team wellbeing, and adjusting ways of working to support neurodiversity like ADHD. Additionally we'll explore ways to maintain a strong, supportive team culture despite physical distances – including tips for remotely onboarding new colleagues.
Whether an engineer or a manager, you will leave inspired with ideas for how to improve collaboration and quality across your team.
