From turning down $3 billion from Facebook to building a $100 billion empire, Evan Spiegel reveals the blueprint behind Snapchat. Evan Spiegel, co-founder & CEO of Snapchat (now Snap Inc.), founded the app while at Stanford and became the youngest billionaire at 25. In this conversation, Evan and Steven cover how Snapchat almost didn't exist, Evan's ‘T-Shaped' leadership style, getting bullied before founding Snapchat, and the harshest day of his CEO journey.

T-Shaped Personas Key Concepts A persona is an abstract representation of a typical user or customer. We often focus on the buyer persona and the moments-that-matter for our buyer's journey. This article focuses on the customer already using our product or service. A feature is an important part, quality or ability of a product that makes it distinct or better; it usually contributes to the overall value proposition. A product feature matrix maps product(s) on one axis, to features on an intersecting axis. It is typically used to compare competing, similar products, or differentiate a product's versions from product Gamma to Gamma+, Gamma 2.0 and so on. The T-Shaped person is a talent management concept, attributed to McKinsey & Company, that describes the depth or domain expertise of an individual along the vertical stroke of the letter ‘T', while also describing that same individual's breadth across varied other disciplines along the ‘T' horizontal bar. A T-Shaped Persona is a new concept. It's a business strategy tool, similar to the talent concept above, visualized by a ‘T'; it also conveys a breadth and depth. Its differences start with its job — act as a visual guide to inspect a persona's adoption and use of our product(s). The vertical stroke of the letter ‘T' signifies depth of product experience, while the ‘T' horizontal conveys typical persona attributes like geographic, firmographic, occupational, and other traits.

“Storytelling is not about glibness. Storytelling is not about verbosity. Storytelling is not just about your confidence or doing it though it is an important aspect of it. Storytelling is fundamentally about the clarity of what you are saying."That is Nitin Seth, Co-Founder and CEO of Incedo Inc. and author of the recent bestseller, 'Mastering the Data Paradox'. This 600-page tome provides leaders with a detailed blueprint for making the most of the data opportunity in the AI age.I often say that ‘data is the new oil, storytelling is the new refinery'. Well, this book opened my eyes to the multiple layers of refining that data has to go through before it is ready for the storytelling step.In the book, Nitin explains why managing the data explosion is so challenging and what large firms should do to win in the data-first world we live in. He proposes a ‘Unified Solutions Framework' – a 13-point plan for success. The comprehensive framework covers several diverse aspects including customer problem definition, managing multi-source data, building your data stack, data security and quality, data culture and managing data talent. Nitin knows what he's talking about. After leading the Mckinsey Knowledge Centre and Fidelity International's operations in India, he was the COO at Flipkart. Currently, as the co-founder and CEO of Incedo Inc., a Data and AI consulting firm, Nitin works with leaders of several Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 companies to help them navigate the data-first world.In this conversation, we dive into three broad themes.One, Nitin's own journey as a storyteller. He starts with an evocative IIT-Delhi story when he roused a bunch of lazy hostelites into cheering for their badminton team (just like the movie Chichhore!). He speaks about his work convincing sceptical audiences - from union workers to board members – at large companies like Tata Steel. Nitin also shares a ‘failure story' of when his pitch to a senior internal audience at McKinsey did not work, and what he learnt from that experience. Two, we move on to the contents of the book itself. Data is a paradox – most organisations want more of it, but don't know what to do with the amount they have. They are spending hundreds of millions of dollars, if not more on data transformation projects, but the impact of the spend is questionable. Nitin cuts through all the noise and brings some clarity to this messy world of data. Some of his key insights are- The importance of KPI Trees or Issue trees as a starting point in a data project- The need to think of data as products you make with the user in mind and not as an asset that you have control over- The need to connect, or integrate insights from data like a ‘sutradhar' or narratorFinally, we speak about the implications of the book for data professionals. Nitin speaks about the need for data professionals to develop 'T-Shaped' capabilities. Depth in one or two specific areas of data (for instance an industry like insurance or a function like CRM) and breadth in horizontal skills like problem-solving and storytelling.Personally, I was also mighty impressed by how Nitin worked outside his main office hours from 10 pm to 1 am for 3 years to find the time to write this book. I'm sure you'll walk away with several rich insights and ideas after listening to this fascinating conversation.Let's dive in.Further links:- Nitin's website and LinkedIn, Twitter profiles- The book's website- Incedo Inc

Quem for ao episódio 6 deste podcast, em que conversamos com o André Novais de Paula, vai ver que o título é “O Marketing Digital Não Existe”. É uma frase em que acreditamos – por duas razões. Primeiro, porque marketing é marketing – o digital é só mais um canal. Mas a segunda razão vai quase em sentido contrário. Hoje, falar em “marketing digital” é como dizer “nadar na água”: onde mais se poderia nadar? Da mesma forma, num mundo em que tudo passa pelo digital, como é que o marketing poderia não ser digital? E é por isso que profissionais como o Helder Pinto fazem tanta falta às empresas. Porque o digital, sendo incontornável, abarca tantas ferramentas e disciplinas, cada uma tão especializada, que é difícil encontrar quem tenha uma caixa de ferramentas realmente completa, para poder dar resposta a todos os desafios. O Helder é esse multiespecialista do digital, com quem tivemos o prazer de conversar neste episódio. Ouça o episódio e descubra: O que é um T-Shaped marketeer e porque este tipo de profissional faz falta ao mercado Os trade-offs que é preciso fazer para ser um T-Shaped marketeer Como se manter atualizado no marketing digital, evitando, ao mesmo tempo, os perigos da dispersão A importância, para um profissional de marketing, de usar o seu próprio marketing como um laboratório Como estão as empresas portuguesas no que diz respeito ao marketing digital Como uma estratégia digital bem construída pode ajudar na venda complexa, típica de muitas empresas B2B O que faz com que o email marketing continue a ser uma ferramenta crítica no marketing digital, e como usá-lo de forma eficaz Sobre o convidado: Site Perfil no LinkedIn   Ferramentas de marketing digital mencionadas: Albacross ActiveCampaign Elementor WordPress   Livros recomendados: Jeff Walker – A Fórmula do Lançamento Chris Anderson – Free - O Futuro É Grátis Robert Cialdini – Influence - The Psychology of Persuasion Drew Eric Whitman – Cashvertising How To Use 50 Secrets Of Ad-Agency Psychology To Make Big Money Selling Anything To Anyone Charles Duhigg – A Força do Hábito   Para saber mais sobre marketing e comunicação B2B, subscreva a newsletter Universidade B2B, da Hamlet.

Meena Venkataraman: Building Psychological Safety, lessons from helping an Agile team to share interpersonal feedback Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. In this segment, Meena shares her experience coaching a team that struggled to take off and was stuck in a cycle. Despite being nice to each other during scrum events, team members were not sharing feedback with each other, and psychological safety was not present in the team. Meena stresses the importance of having hard conversations and discussing the interpersonal topics in the team, and she suggests that teams should have the necessary tools to talk about difficult topics. By highlighting the value that a team coach can bring to a team, Meena emphasizes the importance of psychological safety and how it plays a crucial role in team dynamics. She suggests that teams should be aware of the small things that can become big things and make sure that they are having hard conversations to address interpersonal issues. Ultimately, Meena's experience coaching this team shows that building a successful team is not just about being nice to each other but also about creating a culture of openness, trust, and psychological safety. We also discuss how using approaches such as non-violent communication can help the Scrum Master create an open environment that is also psychologically safe. Featured Book of the Week: Sooner Safer Happier, by Jonathan Smart In this segment, Meena Venkataraman recommends the book "Sooner Safer Happier: Antipatterns and Patterns for Business Agility" by Jonathan Smart as a valuable resource for scrum masters. She notes that as a scrum master, it's important to have a holistic view of agile and to be "T-Shaped" - understanding the various facets of product development. Meena highlights that the book brings the 12 principles of agile to life and is a resource she refers to often.   [IMAGE HERE] Do you wish you had decades of experience?

Adam Curphey's new book, The Legal Team of the Future: Law+ Skills guides the reader through the need for less silos in legal practice and much more reliance upon teams and collaborative efforts. The idea of a "Law+" model for the profession brings in the essential processes of adding people, business, change, and technology to the law and creating legal teams to solve legal problems. Curphey's experiences at law firms like White & Case LLP, Reed Smith LLP, and Mayer Brown LLP helped provide insights into what worked and didn't work in legal innovation. His membership on the O-Shaped Lawyer Steering Board also provided the human-centric skills needed for the integration of teams into an industry filled with accomplished individuals used to going it alone. This expansion of the T-Shaped and the Delta Model Lawyers brings in more of that human interaction that is needed in today's complex legal environment. The Legal Team of the Future: Law+ Skills also lays out multiple case studies and examples of collaboration, teamwork, and professional progression. We talk about some of the case studies along with Adam Curphey's view into his crystal ball on what is on the horizon for the legal industry in terms of legal innovation. LVNx Crystal Ball Answer This week, Purvi Sanghvi from Paul Hastings, and a current Legal Value Network Executive Board Member, explains how the legal industry may approach a potential economic downturn in 2023, and how that must be different from the 2008 or the 2020 approaches on previous challenges to the profession.

Aligning with Sales is job one for David Gabriel, head of marketing for the fast-growing startup eVolve MEP.“Sales has the hard job. They're in the trenches and we want to do everything we can (as marketers) to make their jobs easier.”That doesn't mean that they aren't looking at the long-term picture—they do many things that keep them in touch with their customers.For example, they surveyed customers during COVID and found they were itching for group interactions. So they put together a Top Golf event, and it completely sold out. “If we'd followed the mainstream thinking on events we would have missed out on that opportunity.Surviving at a startup requires serious agility combined with a north star of profitability and marketing ROI.Gabriel achieves that by hiring “T-Shaped marketers,” which he defines as having a core skill but can also serve as utility players in all aspects of marketing. Depending on what sales is seeing determines what marketing focuses on - so the marketers have to be ready to pivot.

Afinal, é melhor ser generalista ou especialista? Essa sem dúvida é uma das discussões mais antigas do mercado e com a pandemia e a aceleraçnao digital em várias empresas a bsuca por profissionais crescendo, é impossível não se perguntar que tipo de profissional querem, ou melhor, que tipo de profissional devo ser. De acordo com a Pesquisa da ManpowerGroup, apesar de todo o crescimento tecnológico e automação de processos, 81% das empresas acreditam que vão manter ou ainda criar novas vagas no Brasil até 2021. Primeiramente, temos que tirar esse pensamento de que um é melhor que o outro, correto? Nisso “surgem” outros termos, que não são tão novos assim, mas o grande público começa a falr e descobrir. Um profissional do tipo T (derivado do inglês T-Shaped professional) tem sido altamente demandado pelo mercado, mas o que é o tal profissional T-shaped que os RHs tem falado tanto? Como é ser um generalista e especialista? Qual a diferença desse tal T-Shaped? Como aplicar isso a nossa carreira de designe produtos digitais? E mais, porque eu deveria ser um ou o outro? Contudo, persiste a dúvida: neste mercado cada dia mais complexo e diversificado, é melhor ser generalista ou especialista?

เมื่อพูดถึงการพัฒนาทักษะต่างๆ เราอาจเคยได้ยินทักษะความรู้ความเชี่ยวชาญแบบรู้ลึกหรือ I-Shaped, รู้ลึกและกว้าง แบบ T-Shaped และการประสานความรู้เพื่อความเชี่ยวชาญแบบ Y-Shaped แต่เมื่อวิกฤตการณ์อย่างโควิด-19 เข้ามา ทำให้เราได้รู้ว่า การมีทักษะเฉพาะตัวแบบรู้ลึกและรู้กว้างนั้นอาจไม่เพียงพอที่จะแก้ปัญหาที่ท้าทายได้ เพราะในทุกๆ วงการนั้นต้องการคนที่สามารถเป็นผู้นำในการแก้ปัญหา หรือคนที่นำ Solution มาช่วยเหลือคนอื่นๆ ไม่เว้นแม้แต่ด้านการปรับปรุงดูแล ‘บ้าน' โดยทักษะดังกล่าวนี้เรียกว่าทักษะแบบตัว X (X-Shaped) ซึ่งเราจะพาทุกคนไปรู้จักกับ ‘X-Shaped Skill' กันให้มากขึ้นใน EP. นี้ .

To be a highly-skilled T-Shaped employee, you should be able to: - Communicate well - Empathize with others - Show leadership Always remember that anyone can showcase leadership in their own way, and be able to communicate and empathize with everyone around them. Look at yourself. Do you think you have these 3 skills? #leadership #emphathy #communicators #leaders #engineers #engineer #engineering #employees

It is helpful if a company has employees who are T-Shaped in their respective departments. Just imagine if one team member cannot communicate well. It can affect the process of how you collaborate in a larger ecosystem. How about you, do you consider yourself a T-Shaped employee of your company? #engineer #engineers #engineering #leadership #companygrowth #companyculture #company

Most of the time, people think they are communicators just because they can talk. Communication is more than just talking. You have to be able to listen, empathize, build rapport, and navigate on different levels as a T-Shaped engineer. #communication #people #engineer #engineers #engineeringstudent #engineering #engineerjobs #communicator

There is no limitation to the capabilities of any human being, but to become a T-Shaped engineer requires more than problem-solving skills. Communication is the key to success when you want to be part of the larger ecosystem at work. No matter how much of a genius you are, if you don't fit in that larger ecosystem, you will just create more damage than good. #professionals #managers #Engineer #Engineering #engineers #experts #communicators

T-Shaped engineers should have qualities such as communication. Communication is not just about speaking. They must be able to talk, listen, and empathize with the counterpart in order to understand everything. Without understanding the emotion or without empathizing, a person cannot fully grasp the ideas of others, which is very important in the world of engineering. #empathy #empathymatters #empathyatwork #engineer #engineers #engineering #tshaped

The answer is no. Understanding in a T-Shaped manner is not just for the engineering process. It can be used in other departments as long as you are communicating strategies from the bigger picture down to the smallest details. Anyone can be a T-Shaped professional, agree? #professionals #managers #Engineer #Engineering #engineers #communication #communicators

A T-Shaped engineer should be present at various levels of the development cycle and must be good communicators at any level. This means being able to communicate the bigger picture all the way to the very details. An engineer who cannot communicate will find it hard to engineer something because communication plays a huge part in making things happen. #manager #managers #Engineer #Engineering #engineers #communication #communicators

T-Shaped developers are those interested in learning across a breadth of technologies ranging from frontend to backend to devops. In this episode we try to understand why would we want to diversify vs specialise and is there a better option between the two?

The marketing landscape is vast, the landscape of doom has as many vendors as their are stars in our galaxy. The T-shaped marketer model is good for folks early in their career — perhaps. I think it's too regimented, formulaic, and encourages marketers all to acquire the same set of skills — albeit with your own unique depth. I propose a marketing constellation. Bare with me. Like our ancestors staring up the night's sky, you can use your imagination to come up with your own constellation. Maybe your skillset is an archer or a bull or maybe it's a lion. Maybe depending on the season of your career, you have a different perspective. So what is the T-Shaped model?Horizontal line at the top - those are your skills. Vertical line that extends down from categories at the top — that's your depth of skill.  I first learned of the T-shape model from an article Brian Balfour wrote in 2014 where he describes a learning path for growth marketers and encourages them to see career progression shaped like a T with 3 levels. Base knowledge: non-marketing specific, a base layer to build from, think behavioral psychology, analytics, positioning, design and ux, storytelling, research…  Marketing foundation: marketing specific concepts that are used across channels, think experimentation, graphic design, copywriting, funnel marketing, HTML, customer experience. Channel expertise: where most marketers eventually need to make some choices. Channels are ways you can reach an audience. They are ever changing and emerging, think FB ads, social, Seo, content, email, partnerships, product marketing... So the recommendation is that you get as much breadth in the first two levels as possible to get a nice foundation. When it comes to the 3rd level, this is where the vertical bar starts. You still want some kind of baseline across channels, but most marketers eventually become skilled at a smaller number of those channels and a deep expertise means a vertical T. Brian's model is focused mainly on growth and customer acquisition. Marketing isn't just about reaching your audiences so to apply this to a more general marketing path, Buffer took a stab at it too. Where is the model useful? I find it super useful when discussing hires with non-marketing folks — explaining that this is the general skills I'm looking for in a new candidate. So why does JT get cranky about it? It pigeon holes marketers and over simplifies skillsets. It represents regimented thinking and I don't like that. I think it's an outdated model that doesn't exactly benefit marketers. I admit, part of this is I can't put my finger on it.  I'm actually a fan of the t-shape if presented in the right light.  But I do admit it's a very simplified version of your potential areas of focus. What I like about the model is that it encourages early marketers to get a solid foundation and base knowledge before necessarily worrying about specializing in a channel. What does it mean to be a t-shaped marketer? It means they have a solid foundation of concepts and channels but they are experts in one or a few channels. But it doesn't mean you need to strive for a T. You can be a Y or a W or an M. you're career could take you in many different paths.Okay so why a marketing constellation? Because you can't be grouchy and complain about something without suggesting an alternative! It's an understanding that — like the stars in the night sky — the potential skills you can acquire are varied and spread out. It requires imagination and storytelling to weave those skills together to create a representation of your skills. I also think it's more likely to represent the potential depth and specialization of each area. Marketing automation isn't just one skill. It could be:  Lifecycle Lead scoring Project management Lead management Email operations and deliverability Technical integrations And you may be more skilled in one area of operations than another. ✌️--Intro music by Wowa via UnminusCover art created with help via Undraw

As we make our way to the next version of the workforce in a post-pandemic world, we look back at a discussion of the Delta Model Competencies with Northwestern Law School's Alyson Carrel and Vanderbilt Law School's Cat Moon. This interview from November of 2019 is possibly more relevant today than it was when we initially recorded it. While we typically focus on the T-Shaped lawyer model of being an expert in certain areas of the law, and knowledgeable of the necessary disciplines and technology. Moon and Carrel add a third layer to this model to cover the personal effectiveness skills needed to provide effective legal services. In their recent substack articles, Moon and Carrel have continued expanding the Delta Model competencies to fit the current disruption in the legal services industry. While the pandemic is the most obvious disrupter, there are many other factors within the work environment that make the Delta Model even more useful today as it did in its inception.

Today we're gonna talk about T-Shaped Engineer. What is T-Shaped Engineer? T-Shaped Engineer is a person who has a broad high-level overview but at the same time they are able to go deep into the technology, at the code level, and they are able to explain things. How can we define a T-Shaped engineer? We can see a T-Shaped engineer if someone is present at various levels of the development cycle. They are good communicators at the very technical level, at the architecture level, at the requirement level, and they can also see the big picture. Engineering is about communication and as we know, communication is an underrated topic in engineering. We believe that engineering is not only about inventing and solving problems even though if the person is really expert but if he/she can't communicate properly, then it would be trouble for the team sooner or later. That's why it's very important for a company to have a T-Shaped person.

Most of us in the legal industry did not think of the employment market as being anything close to stable in 2020. However, as we are witnessing from the AmLaw 100/200 firm revenue numbers being released, many firms had record revenue and profits. In fact, recent reports show that the industry actually added some 5,000 jobs recently. Geoff Zodda, Chief Solutions Officer of IT Search at PearlCare Search Group, talks with us about what happened in the legal market surrounding the technology, information, analytics, and knowledge workers in 2020, and the projections for these types of professions as the industry refashions itself for a post-COVID economy. For those who are flexible, can wear multiple work hats, and can analyze data, the world may be your oyster. Information Inspirations If a human adds some words into a computer, and that computer uses AI to produce art based on that human input, who owns the rights to that art? Charlotte Kilpatrick from ManagingIP talks with three experts to answer that question. There is a topic that a lot of us avoid and that is succession planning First, it is uncomfortable, second, it is uncomfortable. We have discussed T-Shaped and Delta-Model lawyers in the past. However, easyJet is making its outside counsel show how O-Shaped they are by creating innovative questions on their request for proposals and law firm pitches for business. Ken Crutchfield points out some of the traps that innovators fall into when they don't listen or interpret customers or seek feedback. His experience showing his father about the Trapper Keeper when he was 15 helped him understand what customer feedback meant for success.

Today's guest served as a Marine for seven years before making his way from plant manager to VP of Sales within four years in the manufacturing industry and making the jump towards technology.   Ben and Michael will be discussing how to make the jump into the tech field, the impact of military service on his professional life, and how founding the Denver Startup Week has affected his career.   ABOUT OUR GUEST Ben Deda has a professional path that includes seven years of service in the Marines. He started his civilian career as the Plant Manager for TruStile Doors becoming the VP of commercial sales in four years. He then made the jump into tech and was the VP of Sales at FullContact, the COO at Galvanize, VP of Marketing for Vertafore and is currently the CEO of Foodmaven. Ben also co-founded the hugely successful Denver Startup Week.   Ben graduated from the University of Notre-Dame with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and an MBA from the University of Denver.   GET IN TOUCH WITH BEN ON LINKEDIN AND TWITTER   THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS Podfly Productions: Podfly.net Veterans of Foreign Wars: VFWpost1.org OC Executive Search: OCExecutiveSearch.com   KEY TAKEAWAYS [1:50] Michael introduces Ben and asks him to share an interesting tidbit about himself — Ben grew up in a town small enough that it didn't require a stoplight and out of which came the founders of two businesses that were sold for over nine figures apiece! He shares what Foodmaven does.   [3:15] 40% of the food produced in the country is wasted, for an estimated 200 billion dollar loss annually. Ben explains Foodmaven's mission in this landscape as well as how some of the varied industries he's worked in have similarities that he was able to use and be more adaptable and sometimes even innovative.   CEO EXPECTATIONS [8:45] Being newly minted, Ben touches on what he expected being a CEO would be as well as the people, preparation and path it took to get him there. He also touches on the great board he can count on to help him navigate the learning curves.   CRITICAL EXPERIENCE [12:59] Ben breaks down the different ways you can get the critical pieces of experience you need in order to get to a CEO position as well as the importance of surrounding yourself well while still being knowledgeable.   THE MOST IMPACTFUL ROLE [15:43] While there wasn't one role that made him the CEO he is today, Ben does highlight a few of the key positions he's held and how they drove his management style and general business knowledge — and that includes his military service.   FOR THE AMBITIOUS VP OUT THERE [18:52] Ben's advice is about figuring yourself out, picking your opportunities and planning your path.   WHEN THINGS DON'T GO AS PLANNED [20:40] Without singling out one specific moment or decision, Ben touches on his broader tendency to make decisions that seem not to follow a straight line and what may have helped him land the CEO position.   DENVER STARTUP WEEK [23:40] Ben shares how it started, with whom, and why — today, it's the largest free entrepreneurial event in North America. He also takes a moment to reflect on the possibilities for the future.   [31:47] Ben speaks to the great network the Denver Startup Week has facilitated for him.   [33:20] Organizing Denver Startup Week has taught Ben a lot about community and that giving up a measure of control is both hard and necessary.

Reuven took us on a rollercoaster, from his discovery of programming, his first classes and tryouts, to his life changing discovery on the Web while at MIT. He took us through his first jobs and taught us how he became a consultant. We discussed his experience as a broad T-Shaped consultant, and slowly converged toward his training business. We then focused on learning, teaching and the key skills required to strive in this business. We finally finished brushing over the history of Reuven's new book "Python Workout", how it came to be, and how it is going to influence his business in the future.Reuven is a full-time Python trainer.

A T-Shaped Developer is someone with a broad skill set, but perhaps one or two skills that run particularly deep. A specialist in an area, versus a proficient generalist. Companies run into the pitfall of stacking their teams with experts in an area they think the team will be working, and run into a major issue: A T-Shaped Team! This week on The Standup Podcast we talk about the concept of T-Shaped teams, and how organizations can avoid forming their Agile or Scrum teams around this concept while focusing on the goal of cross functional teams.

Global Product Management Talk is pleased to bring you the next episode of... The Everyday Innovator with host Chad McAllister, PhD. The podcast is all about helping people involved in innovation and managing products become more successful, grow their careers, and STANDOUT from their peers. About the Episode: To be a successful product manager you need several competencies. We tend to be “T-Shaped” people with capabilities in several areas and much more depth in one area, such as development, design, research, etc. Product managers early in their career focus on learning the skills to get the job done — the technical skills of product management. Only later you might realize those skills are not enough and that the so-called “soft skills” are what really make the difference. Learning those skills sooner results in faster career growth, which is why I invited product manager and author Matt LeMay to join us. He recently wrote the book, Product Management in Practice: A Real-World Guide to the Key Connective Role of the 21st Century. Matt has helped build and scale product management practices at companies ranging from early-stage startups to Fortune 50 enterprises. In the interview, he explains the CORE connectivity skills successful product managers need. CORE is an acronym for: Communication,Organization,ResearchExecution

Meena Khalili, Assistant Professor at the University of Louisville, joins Gary Rozanc to discuss the education of an I-Shaped versus a T-Shaped student. Meena goes in-depth on what skills actually constitute a T-Shaped students including where coding and UX/UI fit on the T-Shaped diagram. The discussion also covers startling statistics from the Department of Labor on the decline of Graphic Design jobs and the exponential growth of Interactive Design jobs. Finally, we end the conversation by discussion how design education can lead the industry, not follow it.

Becoming a T-Shaped Developer It's difficult to differentiate yourself if you don't have a single area of expertise. Either you'll have difficulty landing work or you'll be forced to compete with a host of other non-specialists on rate. By becoming a T-shaped developer, you can market yourself as an expert in a particular area and stand out from the crowd! Sponsor - DevIQ Thanks to DevIQ for sponsoring this episode! Check out their list of available courses and how-to videos. Show Notes / Transcript In this episode, I'm going to talk about what it means to be a "T-Shaped" developer. But before we get into that, let's talk a little bit about how software developers typically market themselves, and how companies post job openings, using some real data and numbers. Let's consider a pretty common, but vague, job description: "web developer". Let's search for jobs using this term on a few different sites. We'll leave location out of the search - remote work is becoming increasingly acceptable and it's just easier to compare numbers if we don't restrict by location. Looking at Indeed.com, there are 40,000 jobs matching this search string. LinkedIn's Job Search has over 14,000. GlassDoor finds 110,000. Monster.com will only tell us there were over 1000 results found, but it's a good guess it was a lot more than 1000. The point is, there are a huge number of positions out there that match the search term (or exact job title) of 'web developer'. If you identify primarily as simply a 'web developer', you're in a crowd of hundreds of thousands. The good news is, there's definitely demand for people to fill that kind of role. The bad news is, how do you convince a particular client that you're the best candidate for their 'web developer' vacancy, if that's as far as you've gone in differentiating yourself? When you're marketing a product, one that isn't creating a brand new market segment, it can be useful to identify how big the market for that kind of product is. Say you're looking to enter the footwear business. It's good to know that there are billions of dollars spent by millions of customers on footwear every year. However, when you go to actually sell your footwear, you're probably not going to try to market it to "people who buy shoes" - you're going to niche down to a particular segment. Maybe basketball playing teens who aspire to be NBA players. Maybe outdoor fanatics who want the best hiking shoes. Maybe fashion-conscious women who will pay a premium for comfort. You'll sell more shoes by appealing to specific demographics of buyers than by trying to appeal broadly to any shoe-buyer. People can only remember one or two leaders in a given market niche, and as a marketer you want your product to occupy one of those positions. If you can't be the #1 or #2 for the market, you need to pick a smaller, more focused market in which you can occupy that position. Think about it for automobile companies. What's the most successful automobile company? In my opinion there's not even a clear winner here. What if we narrow it down to trucks? Many of you would probably say Ford or Chevrolet. How about electric cars? I would argue Tesla has done an excellent job of being first in mind as the electric car manufacturer, even though last year Nissan sold more electric vehicles globally than did Tesla. As a developer, you are the product you're trying to sell. You have a set of skills and experience that you can bring to bear when presented with a problem. There are a wide number of skills that most developers need to know, but don't need to be expert in. Visualize a horizontal line representing the breadth of skills you have. Now make the line thicker at the bottom by a few units to represent the relatively shallow depth of knowledge you have for most skills. You work with source control, but you're not known throughout the industry for your source control skills. You can apply CSS to HTML, but you're not writing books about how to apply CSS to HTML. You're competent with C#, or JavaScript, or PHP, but again you're not a well-known expert in them. Now think about a particular skill or passion you have that goes beyond mere competence. Maybe you could have a podcast all about your git knowledge and the dark arts of mastering its intricacies. Maybe you could write a book about the most powerful ways to use CSS selectors to achieve amazing results. Whole programming languages might be tough to become well-known for (think Jon Skeet for C# for example), but you could position yourself as the go-to expert in lambda expressions or arrow functions or a particular design pattern. Whatever skill you already have, or could have, that's where you're going to go deep with your knowledge. Visualize that thick horizontal line representing your shallow knowledge of a wide variety of topics, and now draw a much deeper vertical line dropping down from its center, forming a 'T' shape. This T-shape represents your skillset, or at least how you'd like to market your skillset. The T-shaped developer has greater success because they're able to position themselves in the minds of customers, managers, and peers as experts in a particular niche. How you choose your niche and how you make sure others are aware of your expertise will have to wait for future shows.
