Case details

Power games are quite popular in the IT sector - and let's face it in our everyday life as well - where struggle for life more and more becomes the rule. These games are counter productive and destructive, but also very often addictive as they always bring side-benefits, mostly hidden to participants. The test manager/test lead community is generally very well impacted as they are more exposed due to the fact that they communicate more...but not only. My talk will be enriched by practical illustrations from 25 years of project management in testing and test company leadership, as well as ways to identify, avoid and defuse power games.
