@ICooper If you set your expectations around your strengths with “management”, I strongly believe you will be more successful, both in impact and in longevity in orgs. It is easy for folks to focus on weaknesses, as opposed strengths, which doesn’t always get the best out of people.

@MikeGrayCodes So, I think I observe that, and it’s true but… and here is the catch… I don’t think you can be just a “more senior, senior”. You have to pick activities that make you a “force multiplier”. But within those constraints, I think all of us play to our strengths

Finally found a copy of your talk, being staff plus @ICooper , I really enjoyed it! We should compare notes sometime. I very much agree with all of your points. However, I have one I think is super important to add.

@ICooper Yes agree 100%, I think my point is around _you_ need to be aware of your strengths, and that is where you will find activities that make you a “force multiplier”. Making it clear those are your strengths, therefore this is where and how you will be a force multiplier is key.

Set your own personal boundaries as to what success is and isn’t has to be my biggest piece of advice for this role.

Anyone can attend, and they learn, they learn how to think and make informed quality decisions, because they see it first hand from senior folk, and others. It broadens their thinking. They then take that away and apply it to their own local decision making.

“When conversations take place in an advice forum there is an audience, so everyone can listen, and many can learn.

My passion still remains, and with a rest, I’m looking forward to continuing to find the balance between the two, with the promise to myself to find the time to reflect more often and frequently, something I used to be great at, but have been neglectful the last few months.

I know this, and this is the business I’m in — and it is exhausting. This is where I’ve been, and what’s been draining my energy. Once I’m back from my honeymoon, this continues — the balancing of these two dichotomies, with the aim of finding a sensible equilibrium.

I have a confession to make. Recently, I’ve been questioning whether I’ve lost some love for technology, engineering culture, and so on, and I’ve been struggling to reflect on why. Some of you may have noticed that, lately, I’ve been a bit absent.
