The most common approach is to simply hope no conflict arises.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When <strong>tensions<\/strong> do get high and direct action from someone in authority is needed, as any <span style=\"user-select: auto;\" id=\"urn:enhancement-d11cc5c8\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated wl-thing\" itemid=\"http:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl01770\/entity\/leadership\">leader<\/span> is the \u2018local authority\u2019 it can seem like the easiest approach is just to turn off the charm and get the situation sorted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is another tactical capability that needs to become a strategic strength should a Team Leader become a CTO. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"user-select: auto;\" id=\"urn:local-annotation-222060\" class=\"textannotation disambiguated\" itemid=\"http:\/\/data.wordlift.io\/wl01770\/entity\/proactivity\">Proactivity<\/span> <\/strong>is a necessary element of team management, in order to avoid clashes over schedules, processes, and conflicting points of view right from the start. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conflict-avoidance <\/strong>&#8211; or even better &#8211; prevention is an essential attribute for a CTO who has to communicate with all teams and stakeholders, including customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mastering technologies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps the strongest point that a TL and a CTO have in common is their ability to master <strong>technology<\/strong>. A tech leader, as the name suggests, has a broad interest in high tech, especially if their main focus is primarily software development and deployment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An interest in many different technologies is not merely a benefit, but a core competency for a CTO. This is true in an ICT company, and not only still true but also much more demanding as the CTO of a company in a different industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ICT will obviously also be a core interest in the latter situation, but other technologies directly related to the company\u2019s business will also be of significant interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A CTO must be able to envisage and <strong style=\"user-select: auto;\">predict<\/strong> short- and medium-term scenarios to keep their company on top in its particular field of business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.codemotion.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/cto-4-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"from team leader to cto\" class=\"wp-image-8438\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A business brain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Caring about the <strong>business<\/strong> side of things is the main difference between a TL and a CTO. Business is the dark side of the moon for a software architect and tech lead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any discussion of a CTO\u2019s role, on the other hand, always <strong>prioritises<\/strong> the need to know about business &#8211; a knowledge that becomes more and more important as your company\u2019s turnover reaches higher levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an <strong>ambitious<\/strong> tech lead, your business brain has to take first place. Attention to <strong>internal processes<\/strong> is a critical KPI or key performance indicator of a great Team Leader. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is one of the basic bricks with which to build your career ladder, but much work and training may be required to move up the rungs if you are used to building with just a few bricks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which path to becoming which CTO?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, a few words on how to develop each of the four CTO personas we sketched above. A <strong>Challenger usually has an interest in software technology<\/strong> and great soft skills that help them to manage a team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only CTO persona that worries about the team after the processes and ideas is <strong>the Enabler, the best at conflict solving<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Owner is the worst kind of a CTO<\/strong>, because their tendency to over control eventually creates a significant bottleneck for which the only solution is their removal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My favourite choice for a new CTO is the Influencer. Their attitude of investing a lot of time in group members, allowing natural leaders to grow and develop, is the best way to prevent conflict before it happens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Influencer CTO delegates well<\/strong>, gaining in the process some spare time to devote to improving their strategic skills and developing a stronger system of checks and balances likely to please the CFO, who is often the strongest C-level executive after the CEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uagb-cta__outer-wrap uagb-block-5c1d5c2d\"><div class=\"uagb-cta__content-wrap uagb-cta__block uagb-cta__icon-position-below-title \"><div class=\"uagb-cta__left-right-wrap\"><div class=\"uagb-cta__content\"><div class=\"uagb-cta__title-wrap\"><h3 class=\"uagb-cta__title\">Remain focused on your career path<\/h3><\/div><div class=\"uagb-cta-text-wrap\"><p class=\"uagb-cta__desc\">If you want to be prepared to make the right decisions at the right time for your career path it&#8217;s vital that you comprehend your wants and needs as well as all the options in front of you.
