Leads Talks: From Deep Skills to Strategic Scale
Leads Talks: From Deep Skills to Strategic Scale
About the event
In 2025, being a tech leader isn’t just about tracking every task. It’s about staying effective through uncertainty, making tough calls, and keeping your team energized when the world feels on edge. How do those at the helm stay grounded and adaptive? And why have soft skills become the key toolkit for leadership in tech?
These are the questions we’ll explore in the SET Leads Talks webinar series. The first session kicks off with a candid panel discussion on what real-life leadership looks like — behind the slides and titles. We’ll talk about the day-to-day of leaders who constantly juggle people, strategy, and technology — and how they handle the same challenges from different roles: as educators, corporate managers, and technical executives.
