Why Mastering Leadership matters in Tech
Navigating the Transition
Moving from technical roles to leadership positions in engineering, design, or product management requires a significant shift. The move can be both rewarding and stressful as you transition from focusing on individual tasks to overseeing teams and processes.
Daunting Challenges
Delegating tasks, managing expectations, fostering a positive team culture, and navigating remote work present significant challenges for tech leaders. Balancing these responsibilities while maintaining high performance can be overwhelming.
Impact and Responsibility
As a Tech Leader, your influence extends beyond your immediate team to the entire organisation. The decisions you make can have a profound impact on projects, products, and the company as a whole. With great power comes great responsibility.
Overcoming Common Pitfalls
Statistics show that a significant number of newly promoted Tech Leaders struggle or experience burnout within a short period. Recognising common pitfalls and proactively addressing them is key to long-term success.
Enticing Perks
Tech Leadership often comes with appealing perks such as bonuses, equity, and exclusive access to valuable information. These incentives can make the leadership journey all the more enticing.
Continuous Learning and Growth
Mastering Tech Leadership is an ongoing journey. Embracing a growth mindset, seeking mentorship, and investing in leadership development can help Tech Leaders navigate challenges and excel in their roles.
Statistics show that...
Over 40% of newly promoted managers and executives fail.
The challenges of delegating tasks, managing expectations, fostering a positive team culture, and effectively handling remote work can be daunting. It’s no surprise that over 40% of newly promoted managers and executives either fail within 18 months or step back due to burnout.
The current state of Leadership
Managers seen as lacking in Leadership skills by employees
Leaders wishing they had more training before they started
Managers who don't have any training before they start their role

Reviews from our members
I feel more confident and became much more intentional about the relationship with my manager. I also have the resources now to tackle difficult situations.
Ben can say things you already know in a way that resonates and make you understand it even better.
It’s been focused and personal. The content has been awesome too. Very reassuring and validating. Definitely a safe space.
After 2 sessions, I already started changing the way I lead my team through different situations. The way I think about leadership has matured.
Really liked the role play, it was super effective.
Ben has a wonderful approach to leading the discussion and making one think. He redirects you to points and areas, you may have overlooked. It is thought-provoking.
I became much more proactive on managing up, and more confident with different leadership styles.
Great theory, concepts, scenarios and touchpoints.
