how to lead without being in management w/ kelly vaughn, director of eng
guest: kelly vaughn, director of engineering
- think beyond your assigned task and consider the impact your work has on the wider organization
- amplify and support your teammates instead of only promoting your own work to build real influence
- ask for feedback often and be willing to accept it even when it is delivered poorly or bluntly
- work on genuine weaknesses like being defensive or abrasive instead of writing them off as just your personality
- build emotional intelligence by managing your own reactions and stepping away before responding in heated moments
