Robin.ly Business Camp: The essence of entrepreneurship and leadership
Updated: Feb 16, 2019
How to lead a team to tackle complex problems is often the challenge many excellent tech engineers/researchers are facing. Although many of them are professional in handling "things", however, handling "people" is far more complicated than we can imagine. Motivating, inspiring, encouraging, guiding and leading a group of smart people run toward the same goal require new skills that individual contributors would need to acquire.
