ChefConf 2018 Session: Ditch Fear, Embrace DevOps, Lead with Vulnerability
Sameer Doshi
Cloud Architect, Relativity

I oonce thought showing vulnerability in the workplace was the fastest way to get left behind. Then I went blind. When ego, fear and intimidation weren’t in my toolbox anymore, I had to learn how to embrace others and ask for help to achieve even small successes.

As it turns out, I was joining the next big workplace revolution: embracing vulnerability and ditching cultures of fear. Companies like Microsoft, Google and Shell are throwing tradition to the curb to embrace this model of leadership we call DevOps.
