12 - Tommy Young, Principal at Enlightenment Capital, Shares How Being Technical First Can Accelerate Growth
Welcome to Episode 12 of Emagine The Future!
Today we are joined by Tommy Young, Principal at Enlightenment Capital - commonly referred to on the episode as EnCap. Tommy has had a meteoric rise in his career, in great part because of his ability to build strong soft interpersonal communication skills on top of his already stellar technical skills.
In this episode, we discuss many topics with a focus on those listed below:
- Navigating The “New”:
- Whether it’s a new job, a new industry, or a new network. One of the hardest parts of change is getting familiar quickly - people, process, environment, challenges - so you can get informed enough to then become quickly productive. Can you help us understand how you approach this in your world?
- Personal & Professional Development:
- There are many ways to approach personal and professional development. First, generally speaking, are there skills you feel are most important when it comes to climbing the ladder and being an effective leader - skills that above all else, every leader must develop?
- For those listening that are technically skilled but lack the soft skills, how can they go about developing those necessary soft skills such as recruiting, hiring, teambuilding, and training, and so much more?
- Decision Making:
- Whether it’s a small decision or a big decision, what is your process for making great decisions when you don't have all of the information?
- When working with new leaders, what are common mistakes they make when navigating an important decision?
- State of the Market:
- Let’s look at the state of the market through the following lenses – an investors lens, a founders lens, an employee’s lens, and a government lens.
- As an investor, how would you describe the state of the market and how things are looking over the next 6-12 months?
- What about as a founder or a c-suite stakeholder?
