Description:

This talk shall cover 8 lessons in leadership and human psychology I learned by starting and running a few open source tech communities in Delhi/NCR region. And how those lessons can impact one's personal / professional lives.

• Consistency is Key.
• Meaningful connections matter.
• Sharing knowledge helps fight imposter syndrome.
• Seed more than you leech.
• Don't be a Dic-tator: Find, empower and enable your successor.
• Money, power and corruption: How to collectively see the bigger picture?
• What motivates teams (read volunteers) when there is no money or power structure?
• Selfishness is good and important.
