Team Management

Overview

Management is a skill, not a promotion. Most founders become managers by default — they hire someone and now they have to manage them. The mistake: treating management as "telling people what to do" instead of building a system that enables autonomous, high-quality work. This skill covers the core management practices every founder needs: 1:1s, feedback, goal-setting, delegation, and scaling yourself as a leader. Based on the operators who built the best-managed companies in tech.
