Testing and Quality Leadership Summit

"Empowering Leadership within Your Organization"Thursday, May 5 (evening) and Friday, May 6 (all day)

Too often employees feel that leadership should come from above. However, recent trends in leadership suggest that the most successful organizations are ones in which everyone is empowered to lead, and individuals are encouraged to take personal responsibility for their growth and advancement. Join in the conversation with your peers as experienced technology leaders share ways to empower your staff—and you!—to great heights. Discover how seasoned leaders drive change and motivate staff, while accelerating their own careers.

At the 2016 Testing & Quality Leadership Summit, program chair Jeffery Payne brings together senior industry leaders—Martin Ringlein and Cynthia Gilmer—for an interactive exchange of ideas and experiences. Each of these leaders brings a unique perspective on leadership to the table and will provide Summit participants with practical tips and techniques for leading teams, addressing management challenges, and participating in senior level management discussions.
