DESIGN LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

Design Leadership Skill Wheel

Grow as a leader

 
 

The Design Leadership Skill Wheel focuses on the four primary areas of responsibility in creative leadership—self, vision, team and execution—and the critical skills design leaders must exhibit to successfully deliver within each area. Whether you’re a manager already, or considering making the transition, the Design Leadership Skills Wheel will help you think about areas of growth, different leadership roles, balancing your energy, and much more.

What you’ll learn

  • The four key areas of responsibility for a design leader and all of the related skills

  • How the areas of responsibility (and their corresponding skills) may map to different roles (e.g. Design Lead, Manager, VP)

  • How to assess what contributes to a sustainable leadership practice

Who it’s for

Any creative leader or manager looking to grow and increase their impact. This includes brand design, product design, research, and content strategy. All industries and backgrounds welcome.

 
This was a new way of thinking, and extremely eye-opening. Knowing where my strengths were allowed me to focus on leveraging and leaning into those skills, instead of focusing on weaknesses.
— Kevin Garcia, UX Manager at AWS
