Dreaming of not only solving codes but also leading the way? It's all about connecting with the individual.
A valuable lesson that has been transformative for me and could be for you too:
Understand. Your. Audience.
Why? Because when you do, incredible things happen. You're not just a technology expert; you evolve into a technology leader that others admire.
Why has this worked for me?
1. Speak Their Language: Have you ever tried to explain a complicated tech idea to someone outside of our field? It's challenging, isn't it? Now, picture it the other way around. Discover what motivates them, how they speak/listen/learn, and communicate in a manner that resonates with them. You'll connect at a level you never have before
2. Tailor Your Ideas: Just like adjusting a model, tailor your vision to suit your audience's requirements. A one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work in technology or leadership. By tailoring my idea to make sure I addressed their biggest issues (whether the idea changed or not) has allowed me to get way more done.
3. Grow with Feedback: The beauty of understanding your audience? The feedback you receive. It's like having the secret codes to advance quickly - both in your projects and your leadership abilities. Seek feedback, understand their way of working and make sure you showcase that you are learning from it - people want to see progress.
This year, my goal is not only to mentor but also to encourage you to delve deep into comprehending your people - whether it's your development team, your users, or your stakeholders.
Because when you do, you'll realize that leadership isn't just about being in charge; it's about guiding your team to greater heights, collectively.
Are you prepared to transition from being tech-savvy to a tech-savvy leader? Let's make 2024 the year we achieve just that. I'm here to help you - reach out!
