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 Product development leaders
(starting with product development managers) who want to go beyond
leadership anecdotes to evidence-based leadership practice. A
secondary audience is individuals aspiring to product development
leadership positions.
