Advanced Technical Leadership
In today’s fast-changing landscape, leaders need more than technical expertise. They need agility, empathy, and influence.
According to McKinsey, organisations that invest in leadership development are 2.4x more likely to hit their performance targets. Yet research by Capgemini shows that only 54% of businesses believe they have the leadership skills to drive successful change. That’s the gap this program helps you close.
Why this course?
As technical leaders progress in their careers, the challenges shift from how to deliver to how to lead at scale. This course is designed for experienced professionals who are ready to strengthen their leadership impact — building influence, leading complex initiatives, and driving innovation across teams.
The Advanced Technical Leadership program goes beyond foundational management skills, helping leaders confidently navigate organisational complexity, manage up and across, and lead with authenticity in fast-moving, high-stakes environments.
You’ll develop practical strategies for influencing decisions, leading through ambiguity, and building trust and alignment across diverse teams — without losing your technical edge.
Who is this course for?
This course is suited to:
Senior engineers, product managers, or delivery leaders managing multi-team or cross-functional initiatives.
Experienced leaders looking to enhance their influence, strategic thinking, and ability to drive meaningful change.
Technologists seeking to refine their leadership style and make a broader impact across their organisation.
If you’ve mastered the what and how of leadership, this course helps you shape the why — guiding teams through complexity with purpose and clarity.
Strengthen communication and stakeholder management, aligning diverse perspectives and managing difficult conversations with confidence.
Refine authentic leadership style, balancing empathy and accountability to lead effectively in different contexts.
Develop a change management playbook, applying proven frameworks such as Kotter’s 8 Steps and the ADKAR model to real-world challenges.
Learn to drive innovation and continuous improvement, using trust, vulnerability, and human-centred leadership principles.
