Staff Testing Roles - As Inspired By The "Staff Engineer" Book

This book has made a huge impact on the understanding of my own role - I am not a manager, but a high-level individual contributor.

A Staff role - in the terms of the book. With the lessons and stories from the book, I understand better a leadership career path besides the management track.

A staff-level testing role is often leading delivery teams, critical projects, or internal improvements activities without having formal leadership.

From the stories of similar staff engineers, I can understand elements of leading change around alignment with corporate strategy and presenting to management, among other things.
