Leveling Up — Creating Fair & Achievable Career Paths for your Team
As designers, we aren't always in full control of the outcomes of our work. Sometimes we find ourselves on successful projects with fantastic engineers and product managers. Other times, we deal with more complex situations involving difficult teammates, impossible deadlines, and other challenges which obscure the quality of our efforts. As leaders of design orgs, how do we best control for this variability, ensuring designers move up in the company based on how they work as opposed to what objective outcomes may be assigned — rightfully or wrongfully — to them? In this talk, we walk through how to create an evaluation process for your org that respects all of the nuances of working in a complex, cross-functional organization.
This talk was filmed at Leading Design Festival 2021. Find out more about the event details here - https://leadingdesign.com/conferences/festival-2021
