“Giving up control” is about empowering other people to scale yourself, and scale your effectiveness. Maria Latushkin shares with us why you need to give up control as an engineering leader and what holds people back. Plus you’ll learn tons of different ways to influence and manage your performance when it’s dependent on other people’s effectiveness.“You are responsible for the delivery of the team.

It stops being about you and it starts being about the function that you lead.” - Maria LatushkinABOUT MARIA LATUSHKINMaria is responsible for leading Omada Health’s technology vision and team.
