Abstract
Technical Leadership is a relatively new subject that has not been adequately addressed in literature. Behaviors and skills of effective technical individuals and leaders are defined and cited often, including various shape models of individuals. However, a Systems Thinking approach for combining these two mindsets has not been documented. This paper's goal is to provide a background on effective technical and leadership behaviors and skills, relate them to the various shape-based models of individuals, and ultimately present a novel W-shaped model describing an effective Technical Leader whose foundation is a Systems Thinking mindset.
技术领导力是一个相对较新的课题,尚未在文献中得到充分论述。有效的技术人员和领导者的行为和技能经常被定义和引用,包括各种个人形状模型。然而,将这两种思维方式结合起来的系统思维方法还没有记录在案。本文旨在介绍有效的技术和领导行为与技能的背景,将其与各种基于形状的个人模型联系起来,最终提出一个新颖的 W 型模型,描述以系统思考思维为基础的有效技术领导者。
