Description
Not so long ago I worked for a technical company in the USA. I hadÂ loads of fun and I learned a lot about how American companies doÂ business. But it wasn't an easy job.
My predecessor had implemented everythingÂ in Salesforce with layer upon layer of customizations. The entire ITÂ system was complicated, disorganized, and extremely unstable. The system would fail almost daily, and years of this had turned the entire organization against the IT department.
I arrived in a hostile environment and had to defendÂ myself daily from contemptuous and condescending stakeholders. It madeÂ my work very difficult.
This course is what I wish I had back then to fully prepare me for the job.Â
In this course, I will share 15 great leadership hacks with you to make you succeed as CTO.
I will start by helping you get into the right mindset for the role. You will learn how to on-board yourself, how to connect with your team, and how to showÂ up for work asking the right questions.
Then I'll teach you how to gain situational awareness. You willÂ learn how to identify your stakeholders and find out what they expect. We will also look at how yourÂ team creates value, and what the stakeholders expect from you and your team This will help you become aware of the political environment you'veÂ landed in.
Finally, I'll help you sort out your agile process. I will show you an idealized agile development cycle that you can compare with your reality. This will help you find and address weaknesses quickly and get your team to a higher level.
By the end of the course, you'll be well on your way to become an outstanding CTO.
Who this course is for:
