Tim’s Playbook - Becoming a great leader

You never forget the first time you’re asked to manage someone. For most, it’s a great feeling coupled with an overwhelming sense of responsibility. However, it also comes with a specific set of challenges that become apparent all too quickly.

Maybe you’ll start to have empathy for your previous bosses in ways you never did before. Either way, what’s for certain is that you’ll be regularly put in positions where there’s no clear playbook on how to proceed.

This is that playbook.

I’ll tackle the questions on the minds of first-time managers, experienced managers, and even executives. I’ll leverage my own experience as a tech leader as well as my network to answer these questions in the most comprehensive, actionable, and accessible way.
