First-time founders: the leadership skills no one told you you'd need

A 25-minute session on what changes when you stop doing the work and become responsible for the people doing it.

Two people who reached the CEO seat from opposite directions compare notes. Katie Martin of Hidden Signals moved from finance into the top job. Duniya Moore of Illumo Digital went from CEO to co-owner, and had to lead founding partners rather than a team she had built herself. The brief is the specifics rather than the principles: what broke, what worked, and what they would tell themselves on day one. Part of Brazen's Community Track at The Station, 13:35 to 14:00.

Why go: two different routes into the same chair, which is rarer than it sounds, and short enough to fit around the rest of the festival. Best for first-time founders and anyone about to start managing instead of doing.
