Dolores Hirschmann believes that clarity of message is critical to effective leadership. A leader’s team can’t buy in to a vision without first understanding it. In today’s episode, Dolores helps engineering leaders understand the importance of clarity of message, how to tell if your messaging is clear, and provides practical steps on how to improve your communications.
Joseph Seiler has spent his career helping engineers do incredible work by empowering them and stepping back to let them do incredible work – first as the president and CEO of his own company, and today as a Master Certified Coach. Joseph’s experience provides incredible lessons learned for engineering managers of all stripes, most especially the value of coaching as an engineering manager.
One of the struggles many engineering leaders have is knowing how and when to let go and allow their teams to move forward with their daily work. It can be incredibly difficult to know how to transition from working in the team to working on the team. This leads to micromanagement, impaired performance, and a dearth of leadership and direction.
Luckily, Peter Docker addresses this exact problem in his new book, Leading from the Jumpseat: How to create extraordinary opportunities by handing over control. In today’s episode, I speak with Peter about his new book, the importance of letting go, and what it takes to be a fantastic engineering leader.
Today, I speak with David Marquet on the importance of the language we use as leaders, what’s wrong with the old way of engaging with our teams, and how to drive performance through what we say.
In this episode of the Engineering & Leadership podcast, I speak with Dr. Ben Ritter about the importance of leading yourself and how to start if you’ve never tried.
