Teams, departments, and organizations work better when they are lead by practical people. People who remember what it’s like to be an engineer, a designer, or anyone who builds things that others need. If you can design a solution in code, machine parts, or visual elements, you can learn to design new processes and products for an organization.
But, practical people often need some help to be truly effective as leaders. New team leads or managers may get feedback that they need to “see the big picture”. It’s easy to get stuck in the details of making stuff, and miss the strategic opportunities of your situation.
Working Bigger is designed to help you become a more strategic thinker, by building on your practical experience of getting things done.

About Joe Pairman
I’m a seasoned director of product for B2B software. I’ve directly helped a few dozen F500 organizations get new value from their unstructured data. And through products, helped many more.
I’m used to working across all the functions of a complex corporation, and I’ve helped make much smaller companies successful too. So, a problem solver. And I really enjoy helping other people figure out how to solve problems too, through joined-up thinking and effective communication.
