I want to focus this year on building teams and developing talent not just shipping work. The leadership side of the role is becoming more important to me. How are you evolving your impact as you move up?

Sometimes your options for leadership outside of people management will be limited with “transformation” (i.e. flavor of the year) happening and regime changes. I focus on what I can effect and that is creative leadership of emerging talent. I’ve been in many facets of our industry, I focus on sharing ways of working and looking at work, brainstorming and forward thinking based on my experience. Then I can gain satisfaction from seeing my team and their work evolve. The chaos outside of that, is not my focus.
