7 Mistakes<br />
<strong>Engineering</strong><br />
Leaders Do When<br />
Leading A Team<br />
And here’s how to correct them.<br />
If you are currently leading a team of genius<br />
employees or a bunch of technical wiz guys, you<br />
must read this. These are common mistakes<br />
engineering leaders do and how to avoid them.<br />
You do not follow the rules you want your<br />
colleagues to follow.<br />
If you don’t want your colleagues to lose respect<br />
for you and if you want them to follow the company<br />
rules, you should be the first one in the team to<br />
follow rules. If you end up breaking them, your team<br />
will only do the same things. You are the leader and<br />
the team just follows what a leader does.<br />
You say you’ll do something, but you end<br />
up not doing it at all.<br />
Learn to keep your word so that your teammates<br />
will learn to trust you as a leader. Don’t disappoint<br />
them with words you know you couldn’t keep. Talk<br />
the talk. Walk the walk.<br />
You do not admit you’re wrong.<br />
Don’t believe that saying about being weak<br />
whenever you admit you are wrong. If you find<br />
yourself in situations where you really are at fault,<br />
don’t be afraid to admit it.<br />
<strong>No</strong>t only will that help correct a mistake, but it also<br />
helps improve your relationship with the rest of the<br />
team.<br />
You cannot keep promises.<br />
Never make promises that you know you cannot<br />
keep. A habit a lot of leaders make, doing this will<br />
only end up with you disappointing everyone in your<br />
team. So be careful with the promises you tell to<br />
them.<br />
You think you’re the most important<br />
person in your team.<br />
Don’t steal the spotlight on anyone. Remember,<br />
your job is to lead and guide everyone in your team.<br />
You’re not supposed to be the most important<br />
person in your team.<br />
You cannot handle criticism.<br />
As a leader of your team, you are obliged to give<br />
constructive criticisms to each of its members.<br />
However, you have to be reminded that you are<br />
growing as a leader as well. Keep yourself open to<br />
criticisms and don’t take any of them as insults.<br />
Learn how to handle criticisms like a good leader.<br />
You only believe yours is the right way.<br />
In order for you to help improve every member of<br />
your team, you should know that the right way isn’t<br />
limited to only one approach. More importantly,<br />
the right way doesn’t exactly mean your way. So<br />
brainstorm different approaches to the challenges<br />
your team faces, then choose which is the best<br />
solution that could work for everyone in the team<br />
