What is the Manager Practices for Technology Leaders course about?
Managers today are expected to maintain delivery velocity while developing talent, aligning stakeholders, and adapting to shifting priorities. Traditional approaches focus on supervision and delegation, but fail to equip leaders with systems for influence, clarity, and scalable execution. This gap becomes critical as teams grow in size and complexity, especially in regulated or matrixed environments where alignment is hard-won and mistakes are.
