This week, we will be discussing leadership; more specifically, we will be examining the various qualities found in all successful business leaders. To get you thinking about this topic, I'd like you to consider the following question: What is more important for being an effective leader of a business-excellent communication skills or a strong technical background in a particular industry?

The best leaders are the ones who are good communicators. If employees clearly understand what is expected of them-if their leader can articulate clearly and concisely what they need to do to achieve their goals-they will be more productive and efficient in their work.

It doesn't matter how well a company's leader communicates if they don't have a deep understanding of the business itself. Employees aren't going to be motivated by a company president who gives a great speech if it's evident that the president doesn't know what they do in their day-to-day work.

  • From my perspective, possessing an excellent technical background in a specific industry is crucial for a leader. This viewpoint aligns with Kelly’s belief that employees are more likely to feel motivated under the leadership of such a leader. I would further argue that possessing a robust technical background equips a leader with comprehensive industry knowledge, which is instrumental in facilitating informed decision-making. This deep understanding of the sector's nuances allows them to adeptly pinpoint opportunities for innovation and advancement. Their expertise not only aids in foreseeing emerging trends but also provides a solid foundation for developing groundbreaking strategies and solutions. For example, my cousin Mike works in a software development company that recently appointed a new CEO with a strong technical background in software engineering. This CEO's deep knowledge of coding, system architecture, and emerging technologies enabled them to make informed strategic decisions. They spearheaded the development of an innovative AI-based project management tool, which put the company at the forefront of the industry. This shift in the company's direction and the team's morale highlighted the significant impact of having a technically proficient leader at the helm.
