By nature designers thrive in the realm of collaboration and connectedness, generating feelings of mutual identification and empathy with others. As individual contributors this is a wonderful strength, but when designers step into leadership positions with new levels of accountability, collaboration is no longer enough. At this level it is important for leaders to understand and utilize hierarchical power.
This talk explores the relationship between being strategic and being connected, helps leaders to understand when to step into their power as a decision maker and when to invite more connectedness, and how to see the two as mutually interrelated. When both are skillfully deployed, teams generate trust, unlock creativity, and drive outcomes.
This talk was filmed at Leading Design San Francisco 2023. Find out more about the event details here - https://leadingdesign.com/conferences/sanfran-2023
