Great post in UXmag.com on User Experience Leadership.

I wanted to point out a great article I read today on UXmag.com - 5 tips for effective UX Leadership by Paul Holcomb. His insights speak to many of the frustrations I know I feel when working on a project, especially when working in isolation (functional silo!). How do you move beyond being seen as the deliverables person, and move into a more strategic role within your company, or with your clients.

Greg often talks about what questions need to be asked BEFORE a project starts - and it is almost as if he and Paul got together on this article. I think it is because, from a UX perspective, these are common sense considerations. But common sense depends on common perspective, and when most of our co-workers or clients are NOT looking at things from the UX perspective, but rather from a project management or team management or even SME perspective, those things that are common sense to us aren't necessarily going to be common sense to them!

Check it out - its a great read!
