Being a technical manager is hard. Learn how to be the best technology leader you can and succeed!
The SimpleLeadership Podcast (iTunes link) specifically focuses on improving the craft of software engineering leadership.
As a VP of Engineering & CTO I am acutely aware of the lack of good resources available for new and existing software engineering managers.
SimpleLeadership is designed for both new and experienced software & technology managers who want to build high-performing teams, better motivate & mentor their employees, reduce attrition and advance their career. It is for people who want to go beyond just being a manager and become a true leader.
During these interviews I ask each guest to share their journey from individual contributor to software engineering manager and provide any guidance on the transition. I also like to focus each podcast on a specific theme related to the challenges of managing and leading software engineering teams & organizations.
