Your technical skills within your field are excellent, but your team is underperforming. This is because the problems that repeatedly show up for you as a leader of a technical team are the people issues that get in the way of results. But my experience working with fortune 500 companies, suggests this isn't your fault.1. If you're like most technology leaders, you earned your role through hard work to develop expertise in your field. That expertise allowed you to rise into a leadership role despite having little or no leadership training. 2. Any leadership training you did receive was superficial and generic. It was delivered to “check the box” but provided no real leadership expertise. 3. You are leading in a world where workplace myths are perpetuated by the media. Myths like “accountability is dead”, “Millennials are lazy”, and “you can’t hire good workers anymore.”The truth of the matter is these myths developed as the result of strained relationships between leaders and teams. Strained relationships are a consequence of poor leadership training, resulting from decade after decade of companies ignoring any serious effort to address this critical organizational imperative. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Great leaders don’t get stuck in these myths! But great leadership must be developed; it’s about getting things done through people, and that requires relationship expertise.Technology leaders that develop relationship expertise can control their own career path and take their team with them to extraordinary success. The type of success that leaves a legacy. With today’s advances in the science of neuropsychology, this journey can be traversed by anyone willing to leverage that science to effectively build and apply key relationship skills. It begins by developing a self-awareness of who you are as a person and how those aspects of your personality show up in your leadership. It’s understanding how your personality traits support, or hinder, your ability to master those relationship skills which make or break your success as a leader:• Motivating others• Communicating effectively• Building collaboration• Managing change• Navigating team dynamicsMy mission is to provide leaders with practical and impactful strategies to master those skills. My book, based on the science of neuropsychology, outlines those strategies, and provides exercises that give the reader a blueprint to execute on their own.
