To lead effectively in the age of generative AI, software engineering leaders must prepare for these changes by:

  • Reinforcing the value of your teams as a force multiplier that can enhance efficiency
  • Reducing tasks for recruitment and upskilling engineers
  • Developing policy guidelines for responsible use of generative AI
