Design leadership at scale requires leaders who design the design function, establish a thriving environment for the creative team, and shape the design organization to drive progress, advance innovation, and enhance meaningful customer experiences. To examine the foundations of successful design leadership, the authors performed extensive in-depth interviews with design leaders working for Fortune 500 organizations across industries. Based on these insights, Design Leadership Ignited delineates a pathway to design excellence, which includes establishing a forward-looking strategy and an adequate organizational structure for the design function, empowering the design team, and scaling the impact of design across the entire organization. This book takes the position that a core challenge in the journey towards design excellence is the need to recognize and balance the often-contradictory objectives and activities that design leaders encounter. Combining their practitioner experience and research, the authors provide a framework to embrace the complexity of design leadership that will elevate design at scale.

Designers are more in-demand than ever, 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 here to hone your capacity to manage like a leader and magnify your team’s potential, demonstrating how to combine managerial and leadership competencies leveraging neuroscience, psychology, and sociology notions. This book will help eager designers learn the behavioral abilities required to create, lead and manage high-performing design teams using a systemic, context-agnostic, and therefore repeatable approach. While effective design management is vital in these times of complexity and fast change in organizations, the available literature is insufficient, predominately 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. Come away from Design Management with confidence about how to manage like a leader leveraging different leadership mindsets to nurture creative collaboration and optimize the design operations. Whether you are a designer preparing for the first leadership role or an already established design manager intentioned to expand attitudinal and behavioral competencies, this book belongs on your shelf. Design Management is here to assist you in the long haul.
