💡Beyond Roles and Titles
Leadership is not just a title but a set of skills that can be developed over time.
Merely being a manager makes you a mediocre leader.
The process of creating these skills begins long before you get promoted. So, take your time and start building your leadership abilities. The journey to becoming a great leader is ongoing and never-ending. It requires dedication and commitment.
The good news is that anyone can learn to be a leader, irrespective of their job title. You don't necessarily need to have authority over others to lead.
Leadership is about taking action and being inclusive, not exclusive to a particular role or experience. Sometimes, courage is required to take action. Speaking out is an act of leadership that anyone can take with courage. Anyone has the potential to be a leader, and taking action is the first step. Developing leadership skills is a continuous process that requires constant improvement.
Developing leadership skills can improve your effectiveness as a person.
You don't need permission to build your skills and gain experience. Developing expertise in your field can help you establish yourself as a leader. Yet, we must know that knowledge can be faked, especially in the software industry.
A leader is a set of skills anybody can meet, no matter the title. To be a leader, we don't even receive any authority over others. We need to be consistent with our areas of responsibility.
