Data Structures for Leadership

First-year computer science students learn a lot about algorithms and data structures. First-time leaders often think about how they are going to lead (algorithms) without giving much thought to how to organize for success (data structures). Join Mike Fulkerson in an engaging discussion on Data Structures for Leadership—successful structures for helping teams organize their work, leaders cultivate future leaders, engineers lead from within, and more. Mike shares practical leadership techniques he has gleaned from his experience as a public company CTO and a surface warfare officer in the United States Navy.
