We are joined this week by Chris McAvoy to talk about growing your people & their careers. Learn why advancing your career is like playing great chess; It’s not about having a great strategy; It’s about playing positional chess so that you have all of your pieces in place so when an opportunity presents itself you can take advantage of it.
Chris is a technology leader with a passion for open source communities, innovative products, software, and architecture. He is presently a mentor at Techstars and the VP Engineering at Cognizant QuickLeft.
