I studied at the Technion, where I learned a lot about software development, but they never taught me how to work with peers, especially when there’s a built-in conflict between us. As a developer and as an R&D manager I always had complex interfaces with my product management and customer success peers, and frequently with other development teams. When there are limited resources, different priorities or simply lack of trust, peer communication can become flammable, consume our energy and significantly hurt our work satisfaction.
In this session I’ll present some ways I developed over the years to overcome these gaps and build a productive working relationship with my peers.
