Three Components of Any Leadership Style

I’ve often been asked what Leadership style/method do I use as well as listening to what others prescribe. I’ve always found this an odd question because I’ve always thought one of the great components of a great Leadership style is being able to switch up your style based on a variety of factors in play – environment, people, delivery, projects, – and many more.

Each alone are minuscule and useless, but together they can get you through it. Are you on a late night deployment that’s going sideways and it’s your code that’s blowing up? Get the logs. Open the
