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?
