Learn the skills that make Technical Leadership a great career choice
As an engineer or scientist promoted to manager, team lead, or project manager so many of your problems are no longer technical. They are people issues. And if your organization is like most, they won’t give you much preparation for these new responsibilities. You are expected to adjust quickly, even though your current technical skill sets don’t yet match the demands of your new roles, often while maintaining your technical contributions.
Frustrations like these can make you want to stick with being a technical fellow. But your future career success depends on taking control of these people problems.
You don’t necessarily need a management degree to get the most out of your people
You need pragmatic people skills that you can master without all the theory of an MBA. Skills that can allow you to quickly become a leader that others want to follow. Although they take a different mindset and different distinctions, people skills are learnable. Skills and tools that were modeled from accomplished Engineers, Scientists, and Technical professionals much like yourself who successfully made the transition from individual contributor to respected leader.
When it comes to solving the people problems, you already have what it takes, you just need to structure your thinking, interactions, and problem solving a little differently for people than you do when you are looking at a technical problem.
