Thank you Vanessa! Leadership is a very touchy subject, simple because it often confused with authority and to your point; leadership is simply a service of selflessness. As Developers/DevOps Engineers 'we' or I should say I take great deal of fondness of the three points you highlighted (1.Responsible for product 2. Responsible for my teams growth and output 3. Expand my capacity to handle stress) which are evident that everyone should be aspired at the very least to be a leader. Have I considered? Once or twice, it's a road worth travelled not alone, it's good you're the coach not so many organisations have one and leadership is not event rather a journey, indeed you can take me for trainings but it more like parenting so much you can learn and some you will have to figure out and you will get it right and equally so you will get it wrong. Companies with 'leaders' with no appetite for failure, honesty it's a scary thought sometimes.
Some really great reflections here! I appreciate your thoughts. Leadership is indeed a journey and I am cheering you on as you navigate all the ups and downs it brings!!!
