New Post in Leadingtechnicalteams.com

Come over to leadingtechnicalteams.com to see new posts.

leadingtechnicalteams.com talks about the five skills you will need as a new Team Leader of technical teams.

leadingtechnicalteams.com recognises that many technical experts are promoted into a position of leadership, often on little more than their technical abilities. This is a place where all team leaders can come for advice and to learn from each other.

Please contact me if you would like to contribute with your own post. I would like leadingtechncialteams.com to be a community of technical leaders.

New Blog Leading Technical Teams


Good day to all readers. I have been pleasantly surprised to see that this blog has a readership that is still quite large despite the length of time since I last posted. 

I've also noted that the blog, and the people searching for answers here, have been towards posts that relate to team leadership. 

I realised that I do like writing and learning and the interaction that a blog can give to me and others. To this end, realising that the current blog is a little more technical focussed, I have started a new blog. 

LeadingTechnicalTeams.com is designed to be a place where everyone can come and learn and contribute. I'm working on a suitable forums section as well. 

It is my real hope that some of you can also contribute with posts of your own and questions and answers. 

I know the difficulties that a team leader faces, often put there due to little more than being the best technician. Leadership is a different skill that needs to be learned. Much more often than not the team leader is also not really a team member and suddenly finds they have no one to discuss and get advice from. 

Join me at LeadingTechnicalTeams.com and contact me. Lets make it a place we can contribute to and learn from, and where we can find that we are not alone.

I welcome you to my new blog at LeadingTechnicalTeams.com.
