Leadership doesn’t happen overnight, there is no one size fits all, no magic formula – the journey we take is different for everyone, but it must be taken. Whether you still code or don’t (your choice), you are in this role to lead people to deliver a thing of value. That thing can be a product, a platform, a solution, take your pick.
I’ve worked with a multitude of teams and software leaders, whether it be Managers, Team or Tech Leads, to help them develop their own leadership style in leading their teams, solidify their approach to delivering software, scale out their teams, and breathe.
There are no shortcuts (that’s the good news).
I had so many thoughts on this topic, I even wrote a book – Code Your Way Up – available as an eBook or Paperback on Amazon (CAN and US).
My views are my own and don’t reflect anywhere or anyone that I work with.
Let me know what you think.
