Becoming a Technical Leader

Becoming a Technical Leader

An Organic Problem-solving Approach

Gerald M. Weinberg

All of the most consistently successful technical leaders empower people by the value they place on innovation, on doing things in a better way. If we look more closely at how technical leaders emphasize innovation, we find that they concentrate on three major areas: • understanding the problem • managing the flow of ideas • maintaining quality These functions are the ingredients that characterize what we call the problem-solving leadership style. This is the style that characterizes the best technical leaders.
