Technical Leadership. Od eksperta do lidera. Wydanie II poszerzone
Mariusz Sieraczkiewicz
"Dotąd nie było takiej książki na rynku" (z recenzji pierwszego wydania) Wybitne umiejętności techniczne i naturalny talent do zarządzania ludźmi nie zawsze idą w parze. A szkoda, bo losem świetnego programisty zatrudnionego na etacie jest, prędzej czy później, awans: z juniora na seniora, z seniora na lidera... I tu zaczyna się problem. Człowieka, który doskonale zna swój koderski fach, stawia się nagle przed koniecznością częściowego bądź całkowitego porzucenia go na rzecz zarządzania zespołem innych koderów - do tej pory kolegów z pracy, a teraz nagle podwładnych. Skąd czerpać wiedzę i inspiracje? W jaki sposób twarde umiejętności, które ma programista, uzupełnić o niezbędne na nowym stanowisku umiejętności miękkie? Czy każdy musi sam i w bólach przejść tę trudną drogę "od eksperta do menedżera", czy też można liczyć na wsparcie i podpowiedzi bardziej doświadczonych technicznych liderów? Otóż można, a nawet należy, tyle tylko, że trzeba dobrze wybrać mentora. Proponujemy, by Twoim "mistrzem" stał się ten podręcznik. Jego autor od kilkunastu lat współpracuje z zespołami programistycznymi jako trener i konsultant, zna więc specyfikę branży, z którą związałeś się zawodowo, i jest świadom tego, jakie problemy stoją przed nowo mianowanym liderem technicznym. Co więcej, wie, co zrobić, by te problemy szybko i skutecznie rozwiązać. W tym podręczniku mówi o roli, jaką odgrywa lider techniczny, o różnicach między ekspertem a liderem, o tym, jak skutecznie pracować ze swoim zespołem oraz jak budować relacje z biznesem. Wskazuje, skąd czerpać motywację - dla siebie i powierzonych sobie ludzi, jak z nimi rozmawiać, by chcieli słuchać, i jak ich słuchać, by wyciągać budujące wnioski. Drugie wydanie książki wzbogacone zostało o rozdział poświęcony wdrażaniu zmian, czyli temu, co jest chlebem powszednim każdego lidera.

Media społecznościowe w służbie Twojej firmy Social media stały się naszą codziennością. Budzimy się rano i zaglądamy do telefonu - w zależności od wieku i bańki, w której funkcjonujemy, są to Facebook, Instagram, X (dawny Twitter), TikTok, YouTube... Sprawdzamy, co słychać u znajomych i co się wydarzyło na świecie w czasie, gdy spaliśmy. A potem powtarzamy to samo przy śniadaniu, w drodze do pracy, jako przerywnik w wykonywaniu zadań, w trakcie powrotu do domu, podczas gotowania obiadu, a nawet gdy oglądamy film, czytamy książkę i spotykamy się z kimś towarzysko. Może to smutne, ale prawdziwe: nasze drugie, równoległe życie toczy się w mediach społecznościowych! Twojej działalności gospodarczej to oczywiście też dotyczy. Nawet jeśli zechcesz iść pod prąd i nie założysz żadnego profilu firmowego w mediach społecznościowych, Twój sklep, restauracja, firma usługowa i tak będą na Facebooku, w Google'u i innych miejscach w sieci. Pojawią się recenzje, polecenia, pytania. Trochę więc nie masz wyjścia - jeśli chcesz prowadzić firmę w XXI wieku, musisz ją prowadzić także w sieci. Jak to robić skutecznie? Które medium warto wybrać? Jak się w nim reklamować? Jak prowadzić efektywną komunikację z klientami? Tego wszystkiego dowiesz się z najnowszej, uaktualnionej odsłony kultowego już poradnika Marcina Żukowskiego. Książka w mediach: Tomzynska Bookstagram
