Reviews
“Leadership in Management is the first authoritative book on leading R&D teams effectively in a fast-paced technology development environment. Markedly different from general management, no one has written in-depth about this before. Most useful are John’s insightful lessons from his long career and personal interactions with semiconductor industry leaders — notably Morris Chang and Jensen Huang, among others.” – Dan Hutcheson, CEO, VLSIresearch, USA
“John Chen’s insights into the roles of leadership and management in the development of industry-leading innovation reflect his authentic voice and lived experience in pivotal technology leadership roles at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) and NVIDIA. Through the lens of a scientist’s curiosity about what works, his ideas provide compelling perspectives on the DNA of human organizations that enable them to balance discipline and intensity with the flexibility needed to scale global innovation. I strongly recommend this book for anyone seeking fresh insights into the organizational transformations needed to shape adaptive capacity in the semiconductor industry.” – James Koch, Organization and Management Professor and Don C. Dodson Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus, and former Dean of the School of Business at Santa Clara University
“Having worked in two of the leading global companies, TSMC and NVIDIA in Asia and America, John Chen is uniquely qualified to provide insights into various aspects of work in today’s high tech industry. He shared his experience in vivid stories that are insightful and fun to read. I would recommend this book to those who are new and experienced in their careers.” – Dr. Kenneth Kin, Honorary Chair Professor, MBA School, National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan, Former Senior V.P. of WW Marketing & Sales, TSMC, Taiwan
