Ep #164: How Technical Leaders Can Also Get Themselves Out of the Weeds

You hear me talk about getting out of the weeds all the time.

Which usually means:

STOP showing up as the subject matter expert who needs to have all the answers…

And START showing up as the executive who can hold strategic conversations.

But let’s be real:

Depending on your role, your job may require you to hold onto a certain level of your subject matter expertise.

And balancing your technical skills with your need to show up as a leader can be a fine line to walk.
