A business leader who knows about domain but not about technology cannot sell solution capabilities in terms of technology effectively. To appreciate the technical capabilities you need a certain level of tech acumen. Today the line of tech and business knowledge keep overlapping
What happens here?
- Afraid of experimenting
- Look for expertise outside
- You will get stuck to evaluate/promote the internal tech team
A tech leader who does not understand the business will not be able to succeed in his role or with his team. If you do not develop from domain perspective you will ultimately burn out with a pile of unsold inventory of tech solutions.
What happens here?
- Build prototype in all areas
- Have diverse focus no deep expertise
- Lacking business insights will lead to aborted projects not meeting customer expectations
I have observed both types of leadership resulting in burnout and missing innovation.
All this will result in impacting the company culture, delivery, and work-life balance. We have abundant tech talent but less collaboration and vision. Working on one idea for 5 years will give you more refinement/clarity/focus vs working on 10 ideas in 5 years. Expertise, Experience, Perspectives come from time. Every course cannot directly give you the knowledge you need unless you experiment/modify and keep adding more insights/lessons.
Take time, Build your own path!!!
Keep Thinking!!!
