I agree with everything that has been said by the other two. I find that all the politics I engage in are for the benefit of my people. You will have two major types of peers. Those who want to build an empire, or those who want to help people grow.

You can easily find out those that empire build because they will throw you and even their own team under the bus.

If you are growing your employees, look for others that do so. Follow what they do.

There are a lot of professional development courses that you can take to learn more, but a lot of it is on the job training.

I love tech, but I found the fact that people are always changing a much more fulfilling role to me.
