How to succeed at leading teams
The authors found that people's careers can be characterized by four stages: apprentice, individual contributor, mentor, and sponsor. If people do one stage well, they find it much easier to progress to the next stage. At each stage, the person must do certain things well for other people to consider them successful. If you know what other people expect, you're better able to succeed.Years ago when I worked with summer students, I gave them the first assignment to read about the first three stages. Then we talked about what each of us should expect from the other. Later when I became a team lead, I had forgotten about this book, and didn't do it. I found some of my earlier notes, and realized that I had had several problems with some team members that I probably would have not had if I had given them that assignment.
