As leaders we want our teams to pursue great ideas and change directions to realize the goals. However, often we find it hard to implement changes. At times there seems to be resistance or at least reluctance to change. Why can't the team see the benefits of where we're headed and move fast to realize the goals?
Let's step back to look at the challenges of effecting change and how we can lead teams towards successful transition.
Dr. Venkat Subramaniam is an award-winning author, founder of Agile Developer, Inc., creator of agilelearner.com, and an instructional professor at the University of Houston.
He has trained and mentored thousands of software developers in the US, Canada, Europe, and Asia, and is a regularly-invited speaker at several international conferences. Venkat helps his clients effectively apply and succeed with sustainable agile practices on their software projects.
Venkat is a (co)author of multiple technical books, including the 2007 Jolt Productivity award winning book Practices of an Agile Developer. You can find a list of his books at agiledeveloper.com. You can reach him by email at venkats@agiledeveloper.com or on twitter at @venkat_s.
Self managed teams are a nice concept and has values to certain extent. However, a team that lacks having technical leadership can drift along as time goes on and especially when a number of hard decisions have to be made.
Some aim for leadership positions, team lead, manager, director, VP, and so on whereas others slide into that position due to the opportunities that arise. Many grow into those positions from a strong technical background as opposed to formal training to be a manager. Join Venkat and learn how you can be a more effective technical manager?
