Show Notes
I’d like to begin this episode by acknowledging the land that I am learning and living on is the traditional unceded, un-surrendered territory of the Algonquin Anishnaabeg People.
Often, emerging leaders are thrust into leadership roles because of their proven technical skills, but technical prowess does not guarantee leadership skill.
And this challenge is made all the more difficult because we are experts in the field, so there is an expectation to be able to easily lead.
But what do we do when we aren’t the expert and we’re still expected to lead?
In this episode, you’ll hear from Dr. Will Bralick, the Founding President & CEO of a software consulting practice — Paladin Logic, Ltd — and an educator/coach in software project leadership, who will offer advice and practical tools to help emerging leaders define, identify, and see what we don’t know, giving leaders the capability to be more effective much more quickly.
