Roundtable: Leading Out – The Importance of Peer & Stakeholder Relationships

Great leadership isn’t just about managing up or supporting your team—it’s also about how you lead across.

This session is part of our “Leading in All Directions” roundtable series, designed for engineering leaders navigating complex, cross-functional environments. After exploring how to lead up, we now turn to leading out—developing strong peer and stakeholder relationships that fuel alignment, momentum, and trust.

Join Hale Yaman, Leadership and Executive Coach at Minerva Coaching, for a small-group, peer-driven conversation on:

1. Navigating influence across functions without authority
2. Building trust and collaboration amid competing priorities
3. Handling misalignment or political friction across teams

With 30+ years of experience in tech and executive coaching, Hale helps senior leaders unlock the relational skills that drive leadership effectiveness at scale.

Whether or not you joined the first session, this one stands alone—offering practical strategies and shared insight to help you lead more effectively across your organization.
