Description

Moving from an IC to an Engineering Manager can be tough. Relying solely on the technical skills that made you a great engineer can actually cause you to fail as a manager.


Built on 9 years of real-world experience leading teams, this 8-hour masterclass helps you avoid costly mistakes and fast-track your career growth. It is packed with stories, practical tips, and tools you need to overcome challenges engineering managers often struggle with.


Master the 6 Key Engineering Leadership Skills:

  1. Leading Self: Build deep self-awareness and resilience. Understand how your habits and personality impact your work quality.

  2. Leading People: Give high-quality feedback, build trust, empower your engineers, and confidently navigate difficult conversations.

  3. Leading Projects: Improve your ability to plan, monitor, and execute complex projects while managing expectations with stakeholders and executives.

  4. Technical Leadership: Ask the right questions to guide high-quality solutions, and mitigate common risks regarding system security, scalability, and stability.

  5. Business Awareness: Sharpen your knowledge in product analytics, marketing, and finance to make better commercial decisions and maximize the strategic impact of your team.

  6. Growth Mindset: Continuously adapt yourself to the evolving demands of your team and your environment.


Note: The course puts a heavy emphasis on Leading People. Why? Because your ability to build trust and strong relationships is the single most critical factor in your success as a manager.
