What are your strengths?

My biggest strength is my Logic and reasoning skills.
I am able to take a complex idea and present it simply
I am able to take an idea and find ways to present it as a solution
I’ll paint you an example:
When I became a team lead, one of my first tasks was to move our container cluster EC2 to Fargate.
That means moving our infrastructure from people managed to AWS managed.
We need to migrate because the cost of maintaining the old infrastructure will increase over time.

The problem is that the product team’s manager does not want to change anything because the existing system works.
In his point of view, he does not want to spend the time and effort to test the new infrastructure if we build it.
When I was communicating the benefits of the migration to the product manager, I only talked about how my team can benefit and how it’s going to make my team’s life easier.
I couldn’t sell him on the idea.

I later realized that I should not approach this from the standpoint of how I can benefit but how the development team can benefit.
My team created a spreadsheet that shows that in the long run, in terms of labor hours, we can save money if we use AWS managed resources.
My team brought up a mock environment and showed the development team the improvements we can see in terms of deployment time and manual security patching.

The impact of this apparent, my team spent less time patching server and managing scaling while the development team benefited from shorter deployment times.
