The Leader's Leap - Martin Mazur - NDC Oslo 2021

You've been climbing the tower of software development for a while - maybe a few years, perhaps a decade - maybe even more. Your peers admire you, your managers praise you, and you have become one with your work. Yet, something is missing. There is a feeling in you that the work you do could matter more - that you could benefit your peers and your product more, but that might require a leap. A leap that, for many software professionals, is hard to do, a leap towards leadership. In this session, we explore what happens when you leap towards technical leadership - what happens with you, your peers, your career. What skills do you need to develop, and what can you bring with you. What hurdles will you encounter, and how do you conquer them. Martin draws on his personal experience as developer turned leader, manager and cofounder and distils the ideas he wishes someone told him when he leapt. This session is for people becoming, or interested in becoming, technical leaders. Check out more of our featured speakers and talks at https://ndcconferences.com/ https://ndcoslo.com/
