Tech leads hebben zelden formele macht over andere teams of zelfs hun eigen team, je kunt mensen niet bevelen. Je leiderschap draait op invloed: vertrouwen, geloofwaardigheid, relaties en overtuiging. Dit is de kernvaardigheid van senior technisch leiderschap, en het is leersaam.
Hoe je invloed opbouwt
✓ Build CREDIBILITY — be right often, deliver, admit when you're wrong
✓ Build RELATIONSHIPS before you need them — not just when you want something
✓ Understand others' GOALS — frame your ask in terms of what they care about
✓ Give before you take — help others; reciprocity is real
✓ Use DATA and reasoning, not just opinion or title
✓ Find allies and build coalitions for big changes
✓ Make it easy to say yes — lower the cost of agreeing with you
