5 lessons in leadership from a "reluctant
leader", David Neal
Software developer, Microsoft MVP, and
self-described "Ambassador of Awesome", David
Neal, came to town to present at NDC
Sydney. One of the sessions he gave was,
"Leadership for the Reluctant Leader". I’ve
known a few people who would appreciate that
advice, so after his presentation, we sat down
and had a chat about leadership.
It was a
longish interview (50 minutes) so if you
want a quick summary, here are my top 5
takeaways:
- Be an advocate and lead the team
There are a number of leadership styles you may
have heard of, such as "servant leaders", who
try to actively help and be part of the team,
and "authoritarian leaders", who lead from the
front and expect to be followed. So which one
does David like?

aways from his interview with David Neal.
