★ Data Leadership Coach | Helping data leaders maximise the potential of their careers!

Are you a Chasing the Techno-Dragon? 🐉 Ok, what the hell is the Techno-Dragon? It's a term I literally just made up, but one I now use to describe a data leader who cannot stop constantly obsessing over new tools and tech... ...to the detriment of their career! This is what happens when you combine constant innovation with a need to remain hands on. The speed of innovation only increases so the ability to keep up becomes more and more challenging. Are YOU Chasing the Techno-Dragon? 🐉 Tomorrow, in my newsletter: Strategies For Effective Data Leadership, I'll show 800+ data leaders how to avoid Chasing the Techno-Dragon whilst remaining a kick-ass data leader! Link below or via my site!! 🔥🐉

Having worked at multiple employers over the course of 8 years, I have never met what you call a “Techno-Dragon”.

I like how the hook (inadvertently?) sounds like a heroin addiction. "Just keep chasing that dragon, man"

Find someone else to be the techno-dragon. Make them your right-hand man/woman.

Especially in data and with all the cloud activities, the Techno-Dragon is everywhere. It gets really hard if you have a big data organization with a lot of senior data engineers. They will find a new Techno-Dragon-Baby every day :-) Mladen Babić what was your last Techno-Dragon?

Spot on Tris J Burns 🔥, constantly going after something better to use, doing tons of research on it and being unable to come up with something solid is a huge waste. One of the reasons why we launched Data Tool Catalog was to help data leaders make fast decisions based on tooling alternatives through easily accesible information.
