CodeMash 2020 | Technical Leadership 101 | John Rouda
What you'll learn
Everyone has potential to be a technical leader. What is a leader? John Rouda's daughter says a leader is the person in front of you in line, and she's correct in that a leader is someone to follow. In this talk, John will explore how to lead those to your right and to your left from any level, not only as the “boss.” He will also share a story of failed leadership and explain the biology behind leadership. Leadership is about training, there is no magic formula, but there are ways to train your leadership muscles, just like you would train your body. You'll also learn how leadership is a process without an end.
About the author
CodeMash is a unique event that educates developers on current practices, methodologies and technology trends in variety of platforms and development languages such as Java, .NET, Ruby and PHP. Held every January at the lush Kalahari Resort in Sandusky, Ohio, attendees will be able to attend a world-class technical conference amid Ohio’s largest indoor waterpark. Nobody will frown if you show up in shorts, sandals, and your loudest t-shirt. You might even win a prize for doing so. It’s not just ... moreabout a grind of sessions, but also providing attendees the opportunity of continuing the conversations and networking outside of the daily conference events. The goal has always been to achieve this mission by creating a conference environment that focuses on professionalism and respect for one another.
