How did you transition to leadership?

Hello!

I would love to hear folks who are in leadership on a few things, for those who would like to share!

- what made you want to go into leadership (aside from pay/benefits)

- did you do anything “specific” (with intent?) to prepare yourself for your first leadership role?

- what, in your opinion and self reflection, makes you a good leader in the identity management space?

- what do you wish you saw in your fellow leaders in the same space?

Context if curious:

Currently an IAM Engineer with possible leadership opportunity coming available I’d be one of a few top considerations for. I’ve been enjoying sitting back and reflecting and would love to hear from others already in leadership.
