Building a Strong Quality Engineering Culture

You're joining this session because you want to be a good quality leader, but do you even know what quality leadership attributes are required? You have teams and responsibilities. You have some control, but you will quickly discover that getting people to do something is more challenging than just telling them what needs to be done. A quality leadership goal is to show the team that you're committed to helping them succeed. As a leader, it's your responsibility to help your team achieve by creating transparent, focused, and measurable goals. The key is to ensure that there is some guidance, structure, and flexibility to the plan before you push people into it.

Understand how to level up your own professional growth and that of your staff to help them achieve greatness. Leave this talk with an understanding of how to stay two steps ahead of everyone else in the future. Take home key techniques and tips for building a strong quality engineering culture within your organization.
