Interesting. speech on the topic of leadership Tim Berglund, VP of DevRel by StarTree, which deals with real-time analytics for user-facing applications. In this report, the author highlights and elaborates on aspects of leadership that he sees as important to tech executives. Here's the list. 1) Vision-casting This is about creating a vision. Leadership involves spreading your vision and encouraging people to follow it. Leadership begins with defining goals and joining forces to achieve them. If you start with the creation of the mission, you will most likely get a refined compromise from N+.1 N is the number of participants in a meeting to create a mission statement:) It is better to start with goals, prospects, priorities and get a list of concrete actions from this, and then a mission can be born. (or not born) 2) Discontent Here the author says that the leader is characterized by dissatisfaction with the world and the desire to improve it. Without this, it is not clear how to question the status quo and drive change. 3) Shepherding Here the author immerses himself in the fact that the leader should take care of his team. He remembers. Project Aristotle from Google (Google's Project Aristotle)Where the guys at Google studied the factors that make their teams successful (Psychological safety was a major factor.). However, in shepherding, he focuses on two things.
-- Air time management: every team member felt like they had the ability to be heard in group discussions. -- Social sensitivity: team members could sense how each other felt through unspoken cues. And this is due to the fact that under threat our brain goes to short-term thinking, less creativity, disappears semitones and remains only black and white, and starts thinking patterns. And the author gives the following advice. To manage time on the air: to help silent people speak out, to help talk less to chatterers as a leader speaks last, and to make sure that the ideas of the leader can be criticized To increase social sensitivity: watch facial expressions, use gallery mode in Zoom, pump yourself in emotional intelligence To do this, the author suggests training communication skills. Well, one of the options is to take a model DISC As a tool for understanding how to communicate with a team. In fact, the leader can adapt to the team’s communication preferences. 4) Management The author recommends a toolkit with website manager-tools.comWhere there are sections about how and why to hold one-on-one meetings (one-on-ones)How to give feedback, how to be a coach, how to delegate work, conduct effective meetings. To be honest, this list is a base for managers and it is not necessary to buy materials from this site to explore these issues:) 5) Being followed In order to be a leader, you must be followed by:) A leader should help his employees grow, it sounds like this.
- People should grow under your management
- Growth in strengths
- Mitigate weaknesses
- Think about trajectory
- As much as you can, care for the person Finally, the author says that Technology leadership is different from other types of leadership. People are more interested in things than people, so the leader has to be prepared.
It’s cool for leaders to think about what they want to achieve and why they’re in a leadership position.
