Listen "Defining Your Role Before Someone Else Does (Ep 81)"
Episode Synopsis
As we learned in Episode 79, “How We Broke DevRel as an Industry (https://www.communitypulse.io/79-how-we-broke-devrel-as-an-industry)”, sometimes the people in charge may not know how to set you up for success. The tasks you’re expected to do can take you away from your core focus. In today’s episode, we’ll talk through how to define your role and defend your team against that very real possibility of being tasked with items that don’t belong within your purview.
