Is a Technical Lead like a Super Bowl Quarterback?
As I pondered my next blog post (New Year’s resolution Is to make sure we are posting on a regular basis), I received the email below from Mike Mansbach, Citrix Online. The same questions apply to the Tech Lead on a Software Development Team. Who performs better under pressure? What different types of teamwork styles makes the team successful? If your tech team role is more equivalent to Line Men, does the style of quarterbacking from the tech lead affect your performance?
