As you moved into a leadership role, what happened to your influence and impact after transitioning to the new role?

Side challenge: Perhaps fun for us to collate a list of verbs. For example, “I went from participating to facilitating.”

@simon_tomes,

My activating mode and no other consideration triumphed, consequently, I reduced the long hours to my becoming a facilitator - my only intent was to support others in reaching their peak performance by setting up the right atmosphere for them to evolve, innovate, and even raise the standard collectively.

@simon_tomes My influence has grown significantly. Previously, I focused primarily on testing my own modules, but now I’m actively involved in quality decisions that impact the entire project. I’m invited to planning discussions much earlier, which allows me to help shape feature development in ways that make testing more efficient down the line.

Thank you for raising the question and for sharing that memory @simon_tomes :smiling_face_with_sunglasses: Very well captured :clap:

Commenting so I can follow the discussion as I’m keen to hear what others say :grin:

  1. A new role always moves you to a new environment
  2. A new company or division adds experience breadth and learning to be had and brought
  3. Mostly it’s a chance to ditch baggage, “a prophet can never preach in his birthplace” kind of stuff.
