Which one do you want to be? Working in today’s high-tech scene, we all need different skills and behaviors. Skills are the abilities we have learned, and behaviors are how we act. For example, a person can have leadership skills, and one of the behaviors they present is “lead by example”. Maintaining the balance between presenting strong technical and people skills is crucial for becoming a go-to person, especially at a new job or when changing roles. In this talk, I will share the practical behaviors that I have implemented in my everyday work life that have helped me gain the go-to person status and assume the architect role. Cultivating these tips can help you reach the go-to person status and advance your career.
