For this meetup, we had 3 guests line up for a panel that talked about their own experiences in leadership and also took questions from the audience.

"You'll never make a hard decision if you know what your values are"

"The role of a leader is to create the conditions for people to thrive"

 

Some of the topics covered in this meetup:

• How to deal with the change from being an individual contributor in a company to a manager
• How to prove your worth as a junior member of the management team
• How to find out what excites you and what you find rewarding, and then have fun leading the way
• The importance of maintaining a positive personal relationship with employees reporting into you
• Finding the right mentor
• How to deal with conflict management & diversity in the workplace
• The traits to look for in a potential employee
• An interview is a two way street - how to find out if a company has the right working environment & culture for you
