What happens when your team suddenly doubles?

đź”” Quick announcement before we dive in:
My new leadership program, the Ownership Accelerator, is officially live.
Enrollment is open now, and we kick off August 11.

When I stepped into a larger leadership role years ago, I wasn’t new to managing, but I was completely unprepared for what came next.

Suddenly, I had 12 direct reports.
Several were new to the team.
A few were struggling.
Everyone was looking to me for clarity and direction.

And I was just trying to stay above water.

This wasn’t an "entry-level management" challenge. It was a scaling challenge. A leadership challenge. A trust, clarity, and execution challenge.

And I had to figure it out on my own.

Too many tech industry managers are left to "figure it out."

Over the past few months, I’ve spoken with more than 50 tech industry managers: Directors, seasoned team leaders, and newly promoted managers alike.

Different backgrounds.
Different titles.
But the same core themes keep coming up:

  • "My team just doubled overnight."

  • "The reorg left me with 3X the scope and no support."

  • "I can’t keep up, I’m buried in tactical work."

  • "I want to lead well... but I’m figuring it out as I go."

These are smart, capable leaders in pivotal roles, and they’re being asked to scale without support.

That’s exactly why I built the Ownership Accelerator.

Process:

The program is now live and designed for leaders like you.

The Ownership Accelerator is a leadership development program for tech industry managers navigating change, expansion, and uncertainty.

Whether you’re:

  • Leading through a reorg

  • Inheriting a new team

  • Scaling fast

  • Or just trying to align and execute more effectively...

This program will help you go from reactive and overwhelmed
To confident, clear, and in control.

Here’s what you get:

  • A 6-module curriculum built around clarity, trust, ownership, and execution

  • Weekly group coaching calls with me

  • Lifetime access to a private community of mission-driven leaders

  • Practical tools, systems, and templates you can use immediately

Enrollment is now open and we kick off August 11.

If you’ve recently taken on a new team, or your team is rapidly growing or evolving, and you know it’s time to level up your systems, communication, and leadership, this is your moment.

This is your opportunity to join as a Founding Member and help shape the program from the ground up.

Let’s build the team you’ve always wanted, together.

Best,

What Your Direct Reports Say About You at Dinner
Why your impact on the people who report to you reaches well past the office, and how to choose which way it goes.   Every person who reports to you talks about you at home. Most days. Dinner is one place it comes up. So is the drive home, the walk on Saturday morning, the phone call with a friend. You already know this is true. Think about how well your partner feels like they know your boss. ...
The Feedback You Keep Putting Off
Why feedback feels uncomfortable with a new team, and how to make it a normal part of how your team works.   You're a few weeks into leading a new team. You've noticed some things. The status update that said "on track" the day before the work turned out to be blocked. The pull request merged with review comments still open. You know you need to say something. You haven't. Part of that is time....
If You Write the Plan, You’ll Be Fixing It Too
Why the people closest to the work should write the plan, and what to look for when they bring it to you.   In 1987, a heavyweight named Tyrell Biggs said he had a plan to beat Mike Tyson. Tyson's response: "Everybody has plans until they get hit for the first time." He stopped Biggs in the seventh round. You probably know the version that stuck, about getting punched in the mouth. Your team's ...
