In tech there are a lot of different people who "lead" on different things. A mentor when you're joining a new company showing you the ropes of what exists and why thing are the way they are. A CTO responsible for your company's engineering function. A principal engineer working with you on some of the most complex problems. A team's tech lead who might organise some projects and focus on the team's technical direction & execution. An individual in the community who publishes content you find helpful or is responsible for a library you use. An engineering manager who supports you through your development. In this talk we'll look at what good leadership in tech really means, the different kinds of leaders, how to become a leader in tech, and what great leaders can give you.
