Description
Have you ever wondered if you are ready to lead a technology team?

The truth is that most developers who become tech managers fail in the first 6 months.

Why? Because no one taught them that leading people is completely different from writing code.

I am Marlon Vidal, with 15 years of experience in technology, from startups to multinationals and foreign companies.I have seen hundreds of talented developers fail in the transition to leadership simply because they did not understand the game.

This course will help you discover:

If you really have the profile to be a engineering manager(spoiler: maybe you are already a leader and don't know it)
