For this meetup, we had 3 guests line up for a panel that talked about their own experiences in leadership and also took questions from the audience.

 

“Learn fast, make mistakes, then turn around and figure out how it happened as a team to grow from it”

“You don't need to know where you are going to be in 5 years, but you need to understand the parts of the role you enjoy and see where could that lead you in the future”

 

Some of the topics covered in this meetup:

 

How important it is in a startup to be able to adapt

Why being focused on making an impact in your company can be more beneficial than just getting work done

How valuable it is to give yourself the confidence to thrive in your own role and take the opportunities that may present themselves

The value of picking up different types of leadership traits from different people, as some leadership qualities may not suit you

Saying yes to great opportunities and jumping in feet first to try it, and if it doesn't work its a great way to learn

Why the hiring strategy is probably the most important thing for upholding or enhancing a good workplace culture

How to make sure that the product you are creating is viable and there is a market for it

Advice for someone starting out in a sales position

How to ensure diversity in the workplace
