- Team leadership
- Stakeholder management
- Negotiation
- Using a chosen methodology
These skills will see you through almost every situation you're ever going to meet. They're also incredibly well adapted for you as a new Developer-to-Manager! So, please keep these skills in your mind, and take every opportunity to explore and develop them further – through your own continuous research and the learning you gain every day as a manager.
