What is the Leadership Development for Business course about?
Leaders in business and technology roles often face misaligned incentives, unclear escalation paths, and the pressure to deliver results without formal authority. Traditional leadership training doesn’t address the nuances of influencing engineers, product teams, or executives across silos. The gap isn’t motivation, it’s method. Without a structured way to lead through complexity, even strong contributors plateau.
