It’s a process for everyone to go through from specialist to management to leadership. I have gone through the transformation and appreciate the process which continually push you to move the productivity needle to perform better. Most successful team member automatically becomes choice for team leader.
In my journey I got team leading experience very early when my passion was still on coding, programming and developing projects. It took me 5 years before becoming comfortable in team and gradually I have started enjoying the change. It has mutually benefit to my department and company. Major transformation happened in last 5 years when I understood the true meaning of leadership which means amplify the outcome with your experience and leadership. Illuminate the new generation with your ideas and experience.

We can see similar behaviour in Generative AI which can give wrong decision due to training on historical data which is biased against women, some ethics and even skin colour.
Learning unlearning relearning is the life long process of success. Be it any profession you need to improve the business outcomes everyday and that’s only possible by quickly adjusting with the demand of time. Outcome is the function of rethinking, recalibrating the strategy and lean implementation to fail fast but fail forward.
We have started our cloud transformation journey before Covid pandemic hit the global economy. We have continually transformed our workforce on AWS (Amazon Web Services) and today we have phenomenal success.
