I loved the simple, concise format of this course. Full of bite sized wisdom and instant takeaways to 'try now'. Rather than a massive tome of boring management theory, busy execs can watch this course on a train journey and get instant value. Highly recommended.

Leadership

Course Excerpt

Don’t neglect face-to-face leadership…line management activities such as weekly 30 minute 1:1s with direct reports, weekly leadership team meetings, quarterly all team meetings and annual appraisals are very important to your team members…

Using something like Slack will reduce the number of meetings and emails you use to communicate and collaborate with your team and allow you to communicate in ways you hadn’t had access to before.

Slack is a great way to maintain relationships with people in teams that a CTO ¦ CIO might not normally interact with very often such as Operations and Customer Services.

At a recent interim gig I noticed in the Slack #customer-comms channel widespread unhappiness with what I thought was a minor bit of friction in the customer sign up process. I got the issue fixed and the customer facing teams were over the moon. It wasn’t an issue they would ever have emailed the CTO about so I might not ever have heard about it without channel based communication.

Raising The Talent Bar

Course Excerpt

Everyone says that hiring the best talent possible is the most important thing...and they’re right…but…you need a spectrum of talent in every team.

Not all of a team’s responsibilities are cool or ground breaking so a team consisting solely of high performers struggles to keep everyone equally challenged and motivated…

Don’t make the mistake of setting the hiring bar so high that very few people ever get hired. I have seen many teams struggle because nobody could ever match their unrealistically high hiring standards…

Being flexible on office hours, working from home arrangements, office/remote locations and interim or permanent engagements may unlock the door to getting the talent you need to be successful.

Testimonials

Brilliant

Jane Sampson

I think this course will become thought of as one of the all time classics on high impact tech leadership...it's up there with Good To Great, 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and so on in terms of the effect it can have on your career if you put some of the ideas and approaches into action. Watch it!

At Last

Tracey W

A course written by someone who has been there and done it and is speaking from personal experience. I love the format of small bits of ideas/suggestions/observations and it makes it very easy to dip in and out of when you have time. Well worth the money...it's advice money normally can't buy,

This Course Totally Changed My Approach

Ian Brown

I don't normally like this sort of thing so I didn't have high hopes when I saw this course but I was having a lot of problems leading change so I thought "what the hell?" and gave it a go. I can honestly say it was 100 times more useful than I thought it would be and I immediately starting writing things down that I would do differently. I got huge value from the course and I'm sure most people will. Really really good. Thanks for putting it together.
