Context/Leader Fit
Any seasoned designer or PM knows the importance of context: users, goals, environments, and business needs all shape the “best” solution to a given problem. And yet, designers and leaders frequently assume that a process, skill set, or attitude that worked in one place is the one right answer. Kim will discuss:
- What characteristics of organizations demand different things from leaders
- How to assess your leadership effectiveness within a given context
- How to find your own context/leader fit
