摘要

Purpose - This paper aims to provide a deeper understanding of behaviors effective technical managers and executives use to lead complex projects, programs and organizations. Design/methodology/approach - Described is a qualitative study to identify and document behaviors and attributes of effective technical executives at NASA. Methods included observation, shadowing and interviews with 14 NASA executives, who possessed a technical background and a systems orientation, and whom agency leadership identified as highly effective in their roles. Included also is a review of related theoretical and empirical scholarship on leadership and managerial effectiveness, focusing on research describing leaders' behaviors and competencies and approaches to deal with project and organizational complexity. Findings - The study surfaced 225 observable behaviors clustered into 54 elements, within six broad themes: leadership, attitudes and attributes (including executive presence), communication, problem solving and systems thinking, political savvy and strategic thinking. Research limitations/implications - Limitations include the small number of executives interviewed for 60-90 minutes and observed for a brief period. Future studies might include more executives, from a variety of organizations, and/or employ a quantitative approach based on or incorporating these findings. Practical implications - The study's rich data will serve as a framework to help develop technical executives where complexity and technology drive the need for systems-oriented leaders with technical backgrounds. Originality/value - The study and literature review provide a context for a deeper understanding of technical leaders' behaviors and use of systems thinking within complex situations.
