In a software testing environment, people play plenty of roles in a project where they will lead others. One problem: most don’t have any authority over anyone. It is challenging to be held responsible for a team’s success, yet the team doesn’t have to listen to it because they have a manager they report to. The dialogue will explore the subtle yet powerful art of leadership without explicit titles or hierarchical power. Explore how influence becomes the driving force, shaping decisions, inspiring action, and guiding teams toward success. Understand how empowerment, rooted in trust, can create a positive and engaged work culture. We will work through the balance between providing guidance and allowing autonomy an essential aspect of today’s leadership.
