For my upcoming leadership book I’m trying to figure out if the analogy between learning to program and learning to lead is helpful.

Would you take a minute and hit REPLY with an answer these questions?

There’s no right/wrong answer – I just want to see if what ideas/insights the analogy brings.

====

On learning to program

Question 1A: When you were first learning to program, how did you describe programming to non-programmers?

Question 1B: How would you describe programming to a non-programmer today?

 

On learning to manage

Question 2A: When you were first managing people, how did you describe it to a non-manager?

Question 2B: How would you describe managing to a non-manager today?

 

Looking for meaning

Question 3: What similarities do you see between your two transitions?

Question 4: What realizations did you have?

 

Looking forward to hearing back!

Stay curious,

Marcus
