商品描述
It is becoming increasingly challenging for product development leaders to effectively lead as workplace demands continue to increase. The rate of change in technology, society, and business places immense pressure on leaders to ensure their groups move in the direction of their goals. What might have worked in the past no longer works.
Organizational surveys show that firms struggle with leadership. Product development leaders routinely complain of burnout and stress while their teams members complain of workplace dissatisfaction, resulting in organizational underperformance.
The lack of evidence-based leadership literature for product development leaders means that many leaders are left to figure things out with little guidance. They do not have a reliable resource that they can refer to when they face leadership challenges and, as a result, struggle during times of crisis and change. This book addresses this challenge by providing a theory-informed set of techniques for product development leaders.
Becoming a Leader in Product Development provides an evidence-base set of practices for product development leaders. In doing so, it explores what leadership is and the leader's role in the leadership process, the impact of national culture and organizational culture on the leadership process, and the need for product development leaders to practice adaptive and servant leadership, followership, and self-care. The underlying theories for each topic are reviewed and then brought to life through stories and examples.
What You Will Learn
- See the difference between authority, persuasion, and influence and how leaders can use these constructs to benefit their organizations
- Gain the skills for practicing servant and adaptive leadership in your organization
- Examine the blind spots of each leadership theory
- Discover the importance of adapting leader behavior to the national culture and organizational culture where you find yourself
Who This Book Is For
Software engineering leaders (starting with software engineering managers) who want to go beyond leadership anecdotes to evidence-based leadership practice. A secondary audience is individuals aspiring to software development leadership positions.商品描述(中文翻譯)
隨著工作場所需求的持續增加，產品開發領導者有效領導的挑戰越來越大。科技、社會和商業的變化速度對領導者施加了巨大的壓力，要求他們確保團隊朝著目標的方向前進。過去有效的方法如今已不再奏效。
組織調查顯示，企業在領導力方面面臨困難。產品開發領導者經常抱怨疲憊和壓力，而團隊成員則抱怨工作場所的不滿，導致組織表現不佳。
缺乏針對產品開發領導者的基於證據的領導文獻意味著許多領導者在面對挑戰時幾乎沒有指導。他們沒有可靠的資源可以參考，當面臨領導挑戰時，結果是在危機和變革時期掙扎。本書通過提供一套理論支持的技術來解決這一挑戰，幫助產品開發領導者。
成為產品開發領導者提供了一套基於證據的實踐方法。書中探討了什麼是領導力以及領導者在領導過程中的角色，國家文化和組織文化對領導過程的影響，以及產品開發領導者需要實踐適應性和服務型領導、跟隨者角色和自我照顧。每個主題的基本理論都會被回顧，然後通過故事和例子生動呈現。
您將學到什麼
- 了解權威、說服和影響之間的區別，以及領導者如何利用這些概念來使組織受益
- 獲得在組織中實踐服務型和適應性領導的技能
- 檢視每種領導理論的盲點
- 發現根據您所處的國家文化和組織文化調整領導者行為的重要性
本書適合誰
本書適合希望超越領導軼事，實踐基於證據的領導的軟體工程領導者（從軟體工程經理開始）。次要讀者是渴望成為軟體開發領導職位的個人。作者簡介
