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.

 

“Learn fast, make mistakes, then turn around and figure out how it happened as a team to grow from it”

“You don't need to know where you are going to be in 5 years, but you need to understand the parts of the role you enjoy and see where could that lead you in the future”

 

Some of the topics covered in this meetup:

 

• How important it is in a startup to be able to adapt
• Why being focused on making an impact in your company can be more beneficial than just getting work done
• How valuable it is to give yourself the confidence to thrive in your own role and take the opportunities that may present themselves
• The value of picking up different types of leadership traits from different people, as some leadership qualities may not suit you
• Saying yes to great opportunities and jumping in feet first to try it, and if it doesn't work its a great way to learn
• Why the hiring strategy is probably the most important thing for upholding or enhancing a good workplace culture
• How to make sure that the product you are creating is viable and there is a market for it
• Advice for someone starting out in a sales position
• How to ensure diversity in the workplace
