Tags: Proceedings, 2018, SHARE St. Louis 2018

Great developers, DBAs, sysadmins, and/or systems programmers are invaluable to an organization. Usually that "greatness" comes from a high degree of technical aptitude.  But how much more value could you provide beyond knowing technology?  Are you truly a leader, or just a really good technician?  What attributes do good technical leaders possess?  How can you further build those skills?  What specific actions can you take to be a more effective and innovative contributor to your organization and your company as a true technical leader?  
In this session we will investigate these questions, and discuss what it means to be a technical leader, whether it be as a developer, administrator, architect or even a manager of these roles.-Bill Seubert-IBM Corporation
