The Management System They Never Taught You
What if managing felt as natural as coding?
Remember learning to code? Everything was painful until you mastered the fundamentals and it clicked. Management is the same, just no one teaches you the fundamentals.
Right Now:
You're firefighting instead of leading
1:1s waste time instead of driving results
Other managers get promoted while you're stuck
Endless context switching that leaves you exhausted
Delegation that fails because you haven't built the right systems
Imagine Instead:
On the promotion path because leadership sees your value
Your team runs smoothly without constant oversight
Delegation that frees up time and grows your team
Systems that work even when you're offline
1:1s that accelerate careers
The bridge? A proven Management OS used by managers at Meta, Amazon, Uber, and fast-growing startups.
Hi 👋, I'm Gilad. After 12+ years leading engineering teams at FAANGs and startups, I left Meta to travel with my family. In Montana, I realized my painful lessons could help managers like you.
I refined these insights into the Management OS with my partner Michael.

Success stories
- Gilad’s course in hi-tech leadership is a wonderful opportunity to learn in conversation with fellow experienced and budding people managers, and discover best practices and applicable tools. I found it very practical and helpful as a senior professional stepping into leadership.
Isac Casapu
Tech Leader - Not only did it give practical tools and frameworks for "the everyday tech manager" it was also full of tips and examples from Gilad's vast experience and encouraged sharing and conversation between the participants resulting in a very productive and violating discussion. I highly recommend the course to any manager that wants to up his game.
