COURSE CONTENT:

This course will teach you a combination of executive skills and large scale technology project / technology team leadership skills so that you can successfully deliver big tech projects.

We will show you how to translate your hands-on experience into executive decision-making, focusing on strategic planning, aligning technology with business goals, and scaling both teams and systems for long-term growth. You'll learn how to use your technical background to drive innovation, foster cross-functional collaboration, and influence stakeholders at all levels of the organization.

WHO IS IT FOR:

Engineering Managers, Product Managers, General Managers, Technical Program Managers, Senior Engineers—anyone wanting to be a great technology leader.

TECH LEADERSHIP BY DAVID MARKLEY (VP of Technology at Warner Bros, Discovery, Eurosport, Amazon; launched 100+ tech products; led tech teams of 300+):

- How do you build a successful tech team

- What is the role of tech in your business

- How is an idea brought into reality

- What can be done to make tech go faster

- What does it take to launch a tech product

- What does it take to operate a tech product

- How will AI impact tech

EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP BY ETHAN EVANS (Retired Amazon VP; 70+ patents; led global teams of 800+):

- The standards of great executive performance

- How do you become a scaled, deep leader

- Becoming a change agent who invents and solves

- Be known as a trusted decision maker

- Manage your team to execute with little oversight

- Lead your team to take calculated bold risks

- Inspire and drive your team to deliver executive-level results

Advice is based on Ethan & David's personal experience as VP executives and their diverse insights from his network of executives, coaches, venture capitalists, army officers, and startup founders. This is NOT theory.

Proven ROI for promotions and internal/external hires: Ethan promoted 8 reports from Senior Manager (Amazon L7) to Director (Amazon L8), contributed to 25+ Director promotions, hired 10+ Directors internally and externally, drove the promotion of 3 engineers to Principal, and of his former reports 2 are current Amazon VPs (L10) and 5 are C-Suite outside of Amazon.

How is this course different from Ethan's other Maven course titled "Stuck at Senior Manager - How to Break Through to Executive"? This course is about how to specifically lead big, cross functional technology and product teams to deliver new tech-based products and services. It includes the necessary executive leadership skills to do this, but less than what is needed to be a stand alone general manager or "pure play" executive. My other course—"Stuck at Senior Manager - How to Break Through to Executive"— is focused on general executive skills (nothing technology specific) and how to tactically achieve promotion quickly.

NOTE: Enrolling in both courses — If you want to enroll in both this course and Ethan's "Stuck at Senior Manager - How to Break Through to Executive" we will offer you a bundle package for $1795 (you save $395 if you were to buy each course separately). To claim, see instructions in the FAQs.

WHO THIS IS NOT FOR:

- This is not for you if you want 1:1 coaching from Ethan or David.

- This is not for you if you believe you already know what it takes to demonstrate tech executive performance.

- This is not for you if you want a slower-paced course over several weeks. This live course is 2-days of intense learning. It is designed for busy leaders who want to get the information and then quickly take action.

- This course is NOT technical training (architecture, coding, etc). 

- This course is NOT promotion specific training. It is focused on successful high performance, which leads to promotion, but not on "how to get promoted."
