Our Focus
Throughout her career, our founder,
Yvonne T. Ryan»,
acquired firsthand experienced with the strange dichotomy between
technical responsibilities and a wide range of leadership responsibilities.
In learning to manage this dichotomy successfully, she developed an expertise
in helping to stabilize technical organizations and projects in
crisis. Yvonne found the three most significant underlying reasons for
technical project and organizational failure to be:
- lack of communication,
- less-than-adequate people skills, and
- poor leadership.
Fundamentally, we at Leader's Edge CA
believe that good leaders are not simply people born with the right set of
genes. Exceptional leadership does not happen by accident; it requires a
conscious choice. In the final analysis, individuals with the appropriate outlook,
a strong drive to succeed, and the proper skillset
are most likely to excel as leaders. All of these factors can be
cultivated.
This viewpoint fostered several core goals for our company:
- To help technical leaders and managers recognize, acknowledge, and learn
how to remove the stumbling blocks that work against them, limiting
their success as technical leaders.
- To help technical managers understand the scope of their roles as well as
the approaches, methods, and techniques that work best with techies.
- To provide resources and on-going support in leadership that address the
specific needs of technical professionals.
