AUTOMATION LEADER UIPATH ’ S BORIS KRUMREY DISCUSSES AUTOMATION , LEADERSHIP AND THE NEW NORMAL OF COVID-19
Q . COULD YOU GIVE ME AN OVERVIEW OF YOUR POSITION AND WHAT IT ENTAILS ?
» I lead a team that helps design automation innovations for our customers . Automation is quite an abstract concept so we asked ourselves – how can we show how it would work in daily operations ? We decided that there was no better place to do this than in a lab where people can experiment with automation and learn about what it means for their business .
Therefore , I led the creation of the UiPath Immersion Labs , where we show the art-of-the-possible in automation and help customers build breakthrough automation prototypes in their business context . Of course , due to the pandemic , this is all virtual for now .
Q . HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR LEADERSHIP STYLE ?
» My leadership style is very collaborative but with a clear directive towards the anticipated outcome . If you run a team of technically skilled and creative individuals , you need to give them all the freedom to work in the way they work best and then reunite them on the joint vision . I also ensure that I am very hands-on . I am talking about being able to become a pair of hands to my team if needed . Following this thought , I believe managers need to have a good understanding of how any delegated task should be done , otherwise how will they be able to verify the result ?
