Episode 107

Ah, long time no see, adventurer! Let’s start with a summary and some news. In a few previous episodes, we discussed generational differences amongst people in IT, as well as various personality types and how to deal with them consistently meddling with soft skills and leadership topics. There has been a little pause in my writing since then, but I was quite busy compensating for this by talking! After the pandemic hiatus, I returned to conferences, meetups, and webinars in March 2023 with a new energy, produced three talks based on articles published here, and delivered them at 21 events total in 2023.

I did a bit of reorganization on related parts of the blog as well. You can find the list of events and further confirmed plans on the Talks and Tour page. Each talk now has its own page with abstracts, details, slides, and recordings, both in English and Polish, whenever available. If you have watched any of those, please let me know your thoughts – feedback is incredibly important for any public speaker.

A New Adventure

There is also a fourth new talk, that I just finished working on, I delivered on one external event so far, and I’ve been scheduled for two more events. All my previous talks were based on, or intertwined with, an article or multiple articles, so this is what I’m going to do now as well – write a series of articles to back up the newest talk. The name of the talk is, “Leader in the Land of Dilemmas.” We have a lot to discuss! Should we care more about people or the customer? Treat everyone equally or according to needs? Quick decisions or democracy? What factors should be taken into account when making difficult decisions? How do you navigate the meanders of different personalities, organizations, and a changing business environment? How do you balance time, money, and emotions while maintaining internal consistency?
