Learning through looking and listening

An important competence of the design manager is the ability to look at and listen to the activities of the staff in the office and, where possible, the interaction with others involved in projects, which usually takes place in meetings. An enormous amount of knowledge can be gleaned simply by trying to make sense of what is going on in the work environment. For this reason design managers should not occupy an office that is physically separated from the design studio. Detached from the action they will be less knowledgeable about individual projects and will have to rely on what individuals tell them they are doing, which even with the best intentions is likely to differ a little from what was actually done. Being in a position to listen to the hum of the office and see what is being done allows the design manager to spot good and bad practices.
