Leadership Skills for the Technically Minded

We Have Great Technical Experts in Our Organisation - But Handling People is Hard!

It is easy to get judgemental about the technically skilled, writing off leadership as a challenging route for them. There are books for leaders explaining how to lead technical teams but when it comes to growing the leadership skills of our technical experts, surprising little helpful advice exists.

This talk gets inside the strengths of a technical mind and explains how those strengths can be turned into leadership behaviours. Without stereotyping people, most audiences will quickly recognise elements of their own behaviours and find humour in the challenges spoken about.
