What is to be done if you find yourself in the first situation (too-technical leader)? I found myself there before a few times...reporting to someone who was no doubt a brilliant IC but has no concept of things like communicating vision or even basic project management. Would be curious to understand if anyone has been able to "fix" this from the IC side.
- samhuk 3y agoI find it hard to imagine that it's possible to, in all likelihood, improve a too-technical leader problem from the individual team member position. There's only two ways through which that I can conceive it being solved: 1. Too-technical leader realizes they aren't fit for purpose, perhaps due to indicators like stress, missed targets, team morale, etc. 2. Higher-up leadership notices aforementioned issues and give them the ultimatum: leave or side-/demote to more technically-focused role.
