The IT Leader Tightrope: Managing Tech and Team in Tandem

Jun 2, 2025

As IT professionals transition into leadership roles, the challenge isn't just shifting priorities -- it's managing time, expectations, and impact across two demanding fronts. Balancing hands-on technical work with the responsibilities of managing people, paths of communication, and team performance can leave even the most capable IT leaders feeling stretched thin.

This livestream will dive into the art of time management and the essentials of effective leadership for those still straddling the line between individual contributor and manager, with feedback from seasoned IT leaders that have been (or, likely still are) in your shoes. We’ll cover how to set boundaries, manage competing priorities, support your team’s growth, and still stay technically sharp -- without burning out.
