A Playbook for Leaders
The first time you manage someone, it feels exciting - and overwhelming. The challenges show up quickly, often in ways you never expected. Suddenly, you see your old bosses in a new light, and realize there’s no universal playbook for leadership.
This is that playbook.
I write a continuing series on leadership, management, and the future of work - created for managers in fast-changing, high-growth environments. Unlike generic management advice, Tim’s Playbook blends my experience as a tech leader with insights from a global network of people leaders.
Whether you’re a first-time manager, a seasoned leader, or an executive, you’ll find advice that’s practical, actionable, and easy to put into practice.
