Session: Non-technical Skills Eat Technical Skills for Breakfast
Any person in a technical role requires a combination of technical and non-technical skills. Technical skills can be acquired by a wide variety of means such as getting a degree, earning a certification, or reading a tutorial. Non-technical skills are the personal qualities that define how you interact with others. In a globally distributed and diverse world, these non-technical skills are sometimes more critical and important than technical skills. These skills are needed whether you are a newbie or a veteran in the tech industry, an individual contributor or a manager. They help you to be an effective team player, inspire others in the team, and help make your team more successful. This talk uses personal experiences to illustrate what non-technical skills are, why they are relevant, and what are some of the most important skills to master to create an effective team environment.
