Update: April 1, 2025 I have opened the next Cohort for May 3rd and 4th. On popular demand, I am doing this cohort on the weekend. The feedback from 100+ students who've taken the course so far has been fantastic. I have added a bonus section on AI - how to learn, how to build and how to setup teams in this new era. It will be 10 hours of content over the weekend and I guarantee that you'll transform into a more effective leader. Sign up now! ------------------------- If you are a middle manager or a senior IC, you aspire to become a leader with more influence and impact.&nbsp; Unfortunately, no one teaches you how to become an elite product leader. There is no handbook, no training. Satya, Sundar, Larry, Bill, Fidji and many others. I have learnt from some of the most successful tech leaders out there. Through my journey, I have collected a range of learnings, insights &amp; observations on what the top 1% leaders do.&nbsp; You know what inspirational product leadership looks like. There are leaders whose ideas always inspire, they create clarity, their teams are high-performing and motivated and they are decisive. Maybe you’re doing some of this already, but you’re not sure what it takes to get to the elite level.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Leadership is complex and demanding. It is more art than science. And most of the time, leadership theory is simple but its application is challenging.&nbsp; This course draws from my 15+ years of experience in Product leadership roles. Over the course of my career, I have built 0 to 1 products and teams for Google Meet, Wallet and Duo. I have worked on successful, scaled products like Microsoft Teams &amp; Facebook’s News Feed under visionary leadership. I am excited to share my practical learnings with you. No fluffy theory, straight from the arena.&nbsp; You will leave with a deeper awareness of your leadership style and gaps. And some handy tools and frameworks to start elevating your game.&nbsp; WHAT WILL YOU LEARN IN THIS COURSEIn this intense bootcamp, you’ll learn how to master the skills that are essential to operate at an elite product leadership level. This is a highly interactive course with fast paced lessons, real world case studies, live discussion and Q&amp;A.&nbsp; Over the course of 6 hours of live instruction, you’ll learn how to navigate the most common leadership challenges you face: 1. Communicate for Impact&nbsp;• Craft a compelling narrative and get buy-in from your CEO, Board and stakeholders&nbsp;• Set an effective communication cadence with your team and partners• How to be effective in meetings and how to build your personal brand.&nbsp; 2. Decision Making&nbsp;• Create clarity even in the face of ambiguity and impartial information&nbsp;• How to make tough and unpopular decisions.&nbsp;• Fostering transparency in decision making across the org. 3.
