Enlightening Technical Leadership

Enlightening the process of technical leadership is fundamentally about bringing greater self-awareness to our technology work. This book presents an introspective approach:

• Start with your talent
• Refine, switch and let go of your mental models
• Understand your sense of abundance as well as your sense of scarcity
• Learn from your reactions of dislike and admiration
• Observe how you set and form expectations when you communicate
• Identify the polarities that contain contrasting perspectives
• Realize from what you can virtualize

There are many aspects of technical leadership. Some books focus on strategy and systems. Others focus on teamwork and interpersonal skills. Still others focus on creativity and innovation. And of course, there are plenty of books devoted to the technologies themselves. This book focuses on the self-awareness that enables and transforms our capabilities in all of these areas.
