Back to EpisodesThe Architect as Leader
Description
Four weeks ago I commented on the idea of collaboration, as if the ability to collaborate is necessary in order to have leadership skills.
What are the essential qualities and why is it important that an architect have leadership skills? There are a lot of other skills associated with that - adaptability, understanding context and the fit, steering based on processes which are relevant to the task at hand …
A lecturer has to know how to guide, that’s the very least of the skill they need to have in a collaboration with a student but how does the student learn how to lead and be the driver of his or her project? Then only he/she know how to collaborate with other people ie consultants.
My podcast today answers this question based on conversations we had with Kevin Mark Low before. And subsequent conversations with Azari & Seshan Design, as well.
