Technical Managers Toolkit

If you were promoted because you were good at your job and yet you've not had any support around managing people, this toolkit will help you out.

These are practical resources for that part of the job:

A diagnostic (if that's not how you got here).
Some resources that help you identify small changes you can make right now to make life easier.
And coming soon – short videos that explain models and theories in ways that make sense.
You'll also get one practical management idea in your inbox, roughly every month.

The Tools

A short prep sheet for that conversation you've been putting off, so you go in with curiosity instead of just your own agenda.

A ready-made bank of questions that get people talking, for when "how's it going" isn't going to get what you need.

Why you're probably not listening as well as you think you are, and what to do about it.

Find out what genuinely drives each person on your team, rather than assuming it's the same thing that drives you.

The four-part model behind why EI predicts performance better than IQ does and unlike IQ, this one you can work on and improve.

Why the approach that works brilliantly on one person can completely miss with the next, and how to spot which is which before you get it wrong.

Takes the basics further, from understanding your own reactions to reading everyone else's without needing to ask quite so much.
