Exercising foresight as an engineering leader

Preparing for future eventualities may seem impossible without a crystal ball, but there are some things you can do as a leader to exercise good foresight.

A long time ago, when stepping into my first leadership role, someone told me that I needed to use foresight as a tech leader. I didn’t understand what they meant. To me, foresight sounded very abstract – more like a trait than a skill.
