What is the Manager Practice for Technology Leaders course about?
Technical leaders are expected to drive outcomes, not just track progress. But without deeper systems for influence, prioritization, and execution design, even skilled managers plateau. The gap isn't effort, it's method. And that method hasn't been codified, until now.
