Special Panel Discussion
Friday, February 15, 8:30 a.m.
Mentors, Models, and the Making of Managers
Bob Schatz (Liquent)
Eileen Strider (Strider & Cline, Inc.)
Johanna Rothman (Rothman Consulting Group, Inc.)
Gerald M. Weinberg (Weinberg & Weinberg)
Moderated by Esther Derby (Esther Derby Associates, Inc.)
Each of us has a story about how we came to be managers in software
organizations. Many of us became managers because we were good developers.
Some of us studied management in school. A few of us were groomed and mentored
by the companies we work for, and some were tapped for management because we
were the only warm body available. But now that we’re here, what does it take to
become an effective manager? Is being mentored and developed as a manager
considered a luxury? Join this interactive panel and discuss the real-life issues and
challenges of developing ourselves — and others — as software managers.
