TECHNOLOGY LEADER'S HANDBOOK
THERE’S NEVER BEEN A BETTER TIME TO BE A TECHNOLOGY LEADER.
AND IT’S A WHOLE LOT EASIER WHEN YOU HAVE HELP!
The pace at which new tools are being made available to business leaders can seem bewildering. New fields of work are being enabled by oceans of data and massive, affordable processing power on tap.
The typical CEO—or product, sales and finance executive—does not have the time or inclination to keep up, let alone to sort the useful from the marketing hype.
There’s a need for Business Technologists like you to step forward, understand where the business value can lie, and translate this into terms that will excite the busy non-technical business leader.
This is the opportunity ahead of you. Are you up for it?
If so, you’ll need to double down on new skills. Sure, you’ll need to wrap your head around the technical aspects, but it’s the people skills that will allow you to stand out. The learning, planning and other topics that I cover in this handbook.
You’ll find a thousand articles on this stuff scattered across the blogosphere, but to my knowledge, this is the first book that covers them all in a single concise, handy volume.
I’ve coached hundreds of technologists over the last few decades. It’s been a passion, and I’m excited to provide this synopsis of lessons I have learned in the process. A word of warning—I advocate brevity and prefer business books that get to the point. Most help in the shortest time. This book has 17,000 words—I hope every one is useful to you.
And I hope you enjoy the read. Most of all, I hope you will bound ahead as a result.
Only 10% of leaders make effective use of their time and ability to create change. This book has the roadmap needed to improve your effectiveness as a manager/leader, without any fluff. Highly recommended for new or seasoned technology leaders.
