Talk Description
Leading teams is no easy task, you have to deal with people that can have very different personalities, collaborate with them on a daily basis, coordinate activities, be their representative in meetings with stakeholders, and are accountable for the results not only from your work but also from the work your team does.
Â
While this is not an impossible task, it can feel exactly like that if you’re an introvert like me, however, if you look closely at your own life, you might end up discovering that you can truly be a leader despite feeling you can’t because of your introversion.
Â
In this session I’ll share my journey to be able to lead a team, the things I had to go through to get to that point, the lessons I learned, and how reflecting on my own steps was key in helping me achieve this goal.
