Overview: As you ascend the ranks of game development seniority, it is common for people management to be forced upon your already overflowing task list. Proficient management is essential to keeping your team happy, motivated and hitting deliverables. Yet, management is an entirely different skillset than the core competency that made you a senior or lead.

In this talk, he will present the mythical survival guide he prayed for from the first day he was asked to manage his colleagues.
