Course overview

The Management System They Never Taught You

What if managing felt as natural as coding?


Remember when you first learned to code? The syntax felt foreign, debugging was painful, and simple tasks took forever. But once you mastered the fundamentals, everything clicked.


Management is the same way. Except no one teaches you the fundamentals.


Right Now, Your Management Looks Like:

- 1:1s that waste time instead of driving results

- Reactive firefighting instead of strategic leadership

- Endless context switching that leaves you exhausted

- Watching other managers get promoted while you're stuck

- Delegation that fails because you haven't built the right systems


Imagine Instead:

- Clear promotion path because senior leadership sees your systematic approach

- Strategic leadership where your team runs smoothly without constant oversight

- Effective delegation that frees up 10+ hours per week and stretches your team

- Powerful 1:1s that accelerate careers and solve problems before they escalate

- Work-life balance because your systems work even when you're offline

- AI that actually helps you manage, not just code


The bridge between these two realities? A proven management Operating System used by engineering managers at Meta, Amazon, Uber, and fast-growing startups.

Hi 👋, I'm Gilad. I know what's it like to lie awake at night wondering if you're failing your team.


Four years ago I left my engineering leadership role at Meta to pursue a lifelong dream to travel across the US with my family. After more than twelve years of management in several FAANGs and startups, it was time for a change.


In the middle of no-where Montana, I had a realization.

The painful lessons that I learned? They can help managers like you.


I refined, researched, and built the Management Operating System.

I can't wait to share it with you!

What people are saying

        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.
