Designers are in high demand, and companies worldwide are creating new leadership roles to manage them. With only a few select institutions teaching effective design management practices, self-taught designers are on the rise, and resources are needed to guide them. Design Management is a comprehensive guide that helps designers develop the behavioral skills required to create, lead, and manage high-performing design teams.

The book combines managerial and leadership competencies with neuroscience, psychology, and sociology notions to provide a systematic, context-agnostic, and repeatable approach to design management. It will help eager designers learn the skills needed to lead their teams to success, leveraging different leadership mindsets to nurture creative collaboration and optimize design operations.

While effective design management is vital in these times of complexity and fast change, the available literature is insufficient, predominantly informative, not based on research, and not actionable. Design Management fills that gap by illuminating the skills you need to lead your team to success.

Whether you are a designer preparing for the first leadership role or an already established design manager intent on expanding attitudinal and behavioral competencies, this book belongs on your shelf. Design Management is here to assist you in the long haul.
