# r&d manager # r&d manager should focus on management or technology, and how to effectively advance the progress?

I think as the manager of R&D department, both management and technology are very important.

On the one hand, everyone is motivated not to revitalize the department. On the other hand, we need excellent skills to convince these people!

We all know that people in R&D department have higher IQ and like to work with people smarter than themselves. However, EQ is not necessarily high. People often like to be alone and pursue perfection. As a result, efficiency is often compromised.

So a good R&D manager has a heavy burden! From Q user: Xu Rong

It is necessary to have technology, but which one is biased is related to the nature of the company. If the company is large, the R&D department needs to receive and coordinate a large number of internal and external resources and information. For example, the current R&D direction and progress need to be constantly revised and fed back, which requires R&D managers to have strong management and coordination skills; If the work of R&D department is pure, mainly about design and research, it does not need strong management ability, and the demand for technology will be more prominent.

I think progress is essentially the management of people and time, and it is a comprehensive consideration of the control of internal and external (such as suppliers) capabilities (efficiency), attitude control (responsibility) and the overall time planning of each task, so effective progress also needs to start from these aspects.
