Technology Leadership: From Subject Matter Expert to High Impact Business Partner

Companies focus on their business strategies and the technology that will be needed to support these goals. However, the people development strategy is often neglected and needs to be just as robust to drive the intended results. What’s needed to take today’s technology experts and develop them into leaders who will effectively prepare us for tomorrow’s trends? To explore this topic, I talk with Ebony Smith, founder of Ebenum Equation. Ebony utilizes her extensive experience and straightforward, authentic approach to leadership development to enable leaders to lead more effectively and inclusively. Specifically, she helps tech leaders shift from serving as Subject Matter Experts to becoming highly-influential, relationship-oriented leaders within their companies. Her ability to scan the horizon and anticipate what’s coming allows her to help clients create concrete plans of action to mitigate risks and capture opportunities.
