Talk Description
Teams struggle for many reasons, leaving people frustrated, complacent, and content to exist in mediocrity. Is this any different for testers? .. no! 

As an Agile and Leadership Coach, I have discovered a secret that propels individuals, teams, and entire organizations to be successful. It’s a matter of leadership. Not just executives, managers, or those with leader titles get to lead - everyone does. Even testers!

In this Masterclass, I share three leadership behaviours that make a big impact on any team by any team member. We explore what these behaviours look like within specific quality objectives to understand how testers can be remarkable leaders. 

By embracing your inner leader, you will learn how to engage your team and improve quality in your organization. I hope you leave this class with clarity and actions to shift yourself and your team to lead from within and become truly remarkable.

By the end of this session, you'll be able to:

  • List three leadership traits that improve product quality
  • Recognise what leadership looks like in practice for different quality objectives
  • Use powerful questions to make activities purposeful
  • Lead as a tester to radically improve satisfaction and success
