Four areas of focus for successful technical leaders

People, Product, Process, Technology Stack.
January 26, 2021

Technology leaders require a wide range of skills in order to be successful in modern organizations.

I believe everyone who steps into a technology leadership role has good intentions and wants to be successful. However, the role can be overwhelming due to the many competing areas of focus.

From my experience, the following are the four key areas that technology leaders should be focusing on and striking a balance between in order to achieve success:

  • People;
  • Product;
  • Process;
  • Technology stack.

People

As a leader, you are measured on how well your team performs. As such, you should be creating an environment in which people are supported in their career journeys and are set up for success: an environment in which people are happy and thriving.
