I've just finished a two day Elastic Leadership course - Essential Skills for software team leaders, in London. I'll be doing another one in November.
During that time, I've also spoken at an "in the brain" session at SkillsMatter,
The talk is about ten common mistakes team leaders make, and it also includes 45 minutes of Q & A.
Here are the slides:
