Discover a 26-minute conference talk by Joshua Leners from LeadDev San Francisco 2022 that explores essential skills for staff+ engineers to sustain career expansion. Learn how to navigate the blurry distinction between leadership and management by understanding three critical management types: team management (contributing to organizational happiness and cohesion), project management (handling multi-quarter projects and feedback), and people management (directing individuals and mentoring without relying solely on managerial authority). Explore five abstract "R" skills that should permeate all aspects of senior engineering work: risk (setting priorities as an expensive asset), reliability (delivering on abstract objectives), reputation (representing yourself and your team), relationships (building and maintaining trust), and reducing complexity (communicating complex information effectively). Gain valuable insights for engineers looking to expand their leadership, influence, and scope beyond technical contributions.
