@pcalcado recently published an article about
communication which is puts a spotlight on the aspect of discussion and decision
making (one common source for conflict and often a time where power dynamics
become painfully visible):

I guess the second part needs more GIFs. Nevertheless, I think it could be a
valuable contribution to a conference to look into more of these ideas about
collaboration and communication and make them available in a collection.

What do you think?

One point I want to stress on the talk is this:

We developers happily pay (money, time) for getting up to speed on tech topics.

We don't do this for communicatio/collaboration skills.

And this is not because companies don't offer this. They rarely offer structured
tech training either.

Adding another method I find useful:
@ldavidmarquet's ladder of leadership is a
really powerful concept which describes "angles of freedom" in a collaborative
relationship. What's great with it is that it's a gradual system and makes the
implicit explicit. https://youtu.be/-sri5wyth4I

Here are some resources that seem worth checking out:

https://compassionatecoding.com/ by
@aprilwensel The course about 20 emotional
skills: https://www.theschooloflife.com/business/ Emotions: a Philosophical
Introduction https://www.coursera.org/learn/emotions

... and I definitely have to start listening to
@SoftSkillsEng: the weekly advice podcast
for developers.

Adding it here as a great training option:

It looks like this book will be a good read for this topic:

How you expect your knowledge as a developer to grow vs. how it really is:
