The specialist who became a true leader

A global high concurrency digital platform hired a new cloud services leader: a highly specialised technical practitioner who had never led people before. Over six months of one to one coaching she built the ways of working, the measures and the confidence of a leader in her own right.

Ask yourself…

“When your best technical specialists step into leadership, do they get the support to actually become leaders, or are they left to work it out alone while still being judged on delivery?”

Challenge

A global high concurrency digital platform with cryptocurrency payments hired a new cloud services leader. She was a highly specialised technical practitioner, but she had never led people before, and the two things do not automatically come together.

What we did

She worked with Quantum of Value one to one, focused on how to lead and how to measure her team’s performance for continuous improvement. Over time, she and her team built robust ways of working and genuinely strong professional bonds, and the operational performance followed, solid and steadily improving.

What happened next

She is now not just a stronger leader. She is a confident professional in her own right, and a speaker at leading technology events.

“When I stepped into my new role, I was technically capable but didn’t fully understand how to lead people. Over six months of working with Allison, she gave me the tools to make sense of it, helped me move past impostor syndrome, and showed me what it actually means to be a good leader. She helped me solve the real problems I faced every day, not just talk theory. I’m a genuinely empowered leader for my team now, and I can’t recommend her enough.”
