And then when I got into leadership at those bigger companies, I felt like my whole day was just meetings, this is long before the 'Zoom' world.” Jeremy: “One can delegate and code. You can be both. But a lot of companies I've worked in, you're sort of branded and it's hard for people to maintain in their heads that you can both be a great leader and a high impact contributor. It's really hard for people to manage those simultaneous brands.” Jeremy: “Know that if you want to be a wicked coder, or hacker, I should say, that may, in weird ways, limit your career opportunities. What's important is to understand what's possible -- that you need to know. And if you're not gonna code, you need to find somebody who can code.” Jeremy: "I can't remember the exact statistics but basically you just go in expecting you're gonna lose time and money writing books. I believe the reason you should write, particularly, business non-fiction books is because you're trying to figure something out and you're trying to structure those thoughts and learn and understand and then great if someone else picks it up."Learn more about Jeremy in the links below:Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremeydonovan/TruPeer: https://truepeer.com/Email: jeremy.donovan@salesloft.comBook: https://www.amazon.com/How-Deliver-TED-Talk-Presentations/dp/1468179993Also, you can join our community by checking out @salescast.community.
