Leadership is a skill, management is a position

In this memory: Jesper Ottosen

While I have almost 25 years of experience in the testing field, I have never been the manager of anyone. I know it's matter of company and culture to experience this, but I keep repeating it. As Jerry Weinberg once said "you don't have to be a boss to be a leader". There a plenty of resources on the MoT to explore leading testing activities without moving into management positions.
