You’re the one that holds the team together. You onboard new members, craft documentation, plan group events, and resolve blockers. But after years of enabling others to succeed, you don’t get promoted to senior - and are pulled further from technical work. Does this sound familiar? This talk explores the dangers of non-promotable "glue work," as described by Tanya Reilly, and how holding your team together may actually be holding you back. We’ll help you identify glue work, navigate being stuck with non-promotable tasks, and empower leaders to support their teams in reaching their full potential.
Learning Objectives:
Identify glue work and why it is often undervalued.
Describe approaches to shift focus toward recognizable work.
Enable leaders to distribute work effectively to support team success.
