From Technical Expert to People Leader - and interview by Waleed Kahn

2023 starts with a special first episode: We contemplate on having completed a “full year of podcasting” in 2022 – and going forward we decide to give our episodes a little bit of structure including our main takeaways at the end. But most importantly, we have a guest! Waleed Khan, a Senior Agile Software Developer at Infineon, is talking with Andreas and Shahzeeb about the transition from a (technical) individual contributor role into an (HR-/people-) leadership role, specifically, which concrete steps should be taken in order to succeed. Andreas and Shahzeeb are used to asking the questions when there is a guest. But this time, refreshingly, our guest seems to have taken the lead in driving the conversation J – with great questions: Waleed’s style and curiosity made the discussion not just fruitful and insightful for everyone but also strongly relatable for our listeners. Are you interested in learning more about “the right” personality traits, concrete measures, and the right timing to take on a different kind of responsibility – then listen in and enjoy this episode of WithPeople.ForPeople.
