Take your first steps into leadership with strong foundational knowledge of what’s expected.

Effective leadership starts with a mindset shift – your success is no longer about your output, but enabling others to succeed. Moving from coding to leading a team is more of a career change than a promotion. The transition can feel daunting. But with the right fundamentals, you can set yourself and your team up for success. 

Becoming an effective leader is a journey, not a one-time switch. You will learn through experience, mistakes, feedback, and continuous improvement.
