Doers vs Leaders is a topic of interest to me. I have observed this difference as well. Having worked with doers, I know that I am not one. I get really drained by rote implementation of assigned tasks. I love to learn about how things work and relate to each other. It often follows that people come to me for tech guidance because I have done the research, or can work it out if given a little time. But when it comes to volume of tasks that get checked off the backlog, I usually compare unfavorably to doers, and am disappointed in myself for that. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
I started writing software in 1984. Over the years I worked with many languages, technologies, and tools. I have been in leadership positions since the early 2000s, and in executive roles since 2014.
Cool, thank you!! It is an important topic. I actually believe that the Doer vs. Leader balance often shifts throughout somebody's career and over the years. I am definitely planning to blog about it.
