The era of non-technical leadership is coming to an end.
You cannot afford to be technology dumb i.e. hands off.
When you’re hands on,
- You gain independence from over-reliance on specialised teams.
- You’re shielded from misinformation and can critically evaluate technical feedback.
- You can directly influence the development and implementation of innovative solutions.
It’s time to move beyond traditional management theories that advocate a hands-off, pure business approach.
The future belongs to leaders who are as comfortable with tech as they are with management principles.
