This november the 22nd I’ll be doing a one day workshop for software team leads on the essentials of leading a software team, and required leadership skills that need to be developed.

[The full course agenda can be found here](http://www.e4d.co.il/events/expertdays/Course.aspx?CourseID=051&Course=Leading%20Software%20Teams%20%E2%80%93%20Essential%20Practices%20for%20team%20leads).

The course is in Israel, and in Hebrew.

##### Course Description:

Congratulations - you’re a new team lead!
You’re very skilled technically, but can you drive a team of software developers to achieve amazing things?

- Can you see the full software delivery process from start to end?
- You know what proper code should look like, but do you know how to drive you team members to write such code?
- You know that short iterations work great, but you have a bunch of developers who don’t believe this is such a great idea, and you’re stuck!
- You believe in so many things, and yet, even as a team lead, you feel powerless to drive them with your team members.
