Paddy Moogan - What got you here, won't get you there- how to make the move from specialist to leader

Paddy Moogan

Leaders aren't born, they are made. For many of us, we become managers of teams because we are good at our core discipline, whether that's engineering, marketing, design, or something else. We progress through the ranks and eventually end up being told that to take the next step, we need to manage a team. We're thrown in at the deep end and expected to become effective managers overnight. The thing is, this isn't easy. Being a leader isn't easy.

In this talk, Paddy will show you how to make that step and develop those around you into leaders too, whilst discussing the increasing need for career paths that aren't reliant on managing people. After all, we can all be leaders, even if we don't manage people.
