Leadership
Leadership is a key skill for software architects. There is no single approach to leadership that will fit every leader. You will have to discover for yourself the type of leadership style that goes with your personality and skills.
Similarly, no single leadership style works for everyone or every situation. The qualities people look for in a leader will vary from person to person. A single approach to leadership may not work for everyone you are leading. Try to be aware of the differences among the people you are working with and tailor your leadership accordingly. Attempt to provide what each person needs in a leader while at the same time remaining yourself. Let's take a deeper look at what it means to be a leader.
