14. I quit because:
● I am not learning / being challenged enough (any
more)
● The “cultural fit” is lost - usually because:
○ My manager has left
○ The CIO has left
○ The CIO, who is my line manager, has left :-)
● It’s “too obvious” I can be better off somewhere
else
16. Over time I’ve learnt to:
● Become more resilient (“accept it, change it,
leave it” mantra + find my detachment sweet
spot)
● Empathize more with “legacy management” and
organizations
● Move quicker from awareness to action

18. “We delight our customers via the fast and
frequent delivery of quality products and
services”
20. We can “flex” - choose our primary drivers and optimize for:
time to market,
cost effectiveness,
quality,
customer experience,
developers experience, ...
21. PM? ADM? Coach?
Personally, I don’t really care … What matters is actual
experience and attitude, and not the job title …
23. Yet most companies (and lots of people) do care
about Job Titles. So?
1. Contextual awareness is critical to succeed
2. Respect and sincere curiosity are great assets (“What is the problem they
are trying to solve?”
3. Making sharp calls about what to accept and what to challenge boosts your
effectiveness as a change agent and leader
38. My stance ...
● I am “il montanaro gentile” (ie the kind man
from the mountains)
● I enjoy creativity
● I super value honesty and respect
● I am a “we” person
● I have … (my own) sense of humour
● I seek purpose, and impact
● I am a challenger
● You can lean on me
