Leadership in Tech
When engineering problems turn into people and decision-making problems.What it covers
- The transition from individual contribution to responsibility for people and outcomes
- Decision-making in ambiguous, high-impact situations
- Delegation, ownership, and accountability at team and org level
- Hiring, feedback, performance, and conflict resolution
- The realities of leading engineers without relying on authority or titles
Why it matters
- Most engineers are never trained to manage people or lead teams
- Mistakes in leadership compound and become expensive over time
- Technical instincts often fail when applied directly to people problems
- Poor leadership damages teams, products, and careers
- Understanding leadership early prevents costly trial-and-error at scale
