What it’s about
Develop your career in tech.
Becoming a great engineer is one journey. Becoming a great leader of engineers is another entirely — and most of us are handed the second with almost no map. Tech Leadership is that map.
Drawing on decades of leadership at Instagram, Google, and YouTube, I wrote this to help the next generation of entrepreneurs and innovators move from individual contributors to knowledgeable, effective managers and team leads. It’s an accessible guide to growing into a larger role — no matter your education or background.
The book is packed with real-life stories from years in the field, practical frameworks and tools you can apply immediately, and anecdotes from seasoned experts who have been where you are now.
You’ll learn to
- Master the five critical elements of product development
- Build your capacity to mentor — and multiply your impact through others
- Support the success of the colleagues around you
- Lead through collaboration, strategy, and execution
- Borrow hard-won insights from the world’s leading tech companies
- Make the leap from “great engineer” to “leader people follow”
Who it’s for
