A question recently posed on X prompted an unexpected number of responses. The question simply asked what 5 things would you do if you started a new role as a systems administrator. Responses were all over the map. Unfortunately, the overall tone of many in the hacker community although well-intended, was confrontational, condescending and not likely to lead to being promoted into roles with more leadership responsibility. That’s a shame as that wealth of knowledge could provide great value in these leadership roles. This talk examines the disconnect between the “hacker mindset” and the “business leadership” mindset and provides those wanting to move into leadership roles with actionable steps that will lead to success.
