Mid-to-senior level professionals in technology, product, engineering, or business roles who lead without formal authority, drive cross-functional initiatives, or steward complex programs in fast-moving organizations
Who this is not for
Individuals seeking introductory leadership content or certification prep; this course assumes prior foundational knowledge and focuses on implementation
