The 7 Moves
Which move do you need right now?
Each move targets a different leadership gap. Match what you are experiencing to the right one — then go deep with the guide and the free 7-day challenge.
The 7 Moves are not a curriculum. You do not work through them in order. You identify where you are stuck, work that move, and come back to the others when the situation demands it. The symptoms below are how most technology leaders describe the problem before they have named the capability gap behind it.
Not sure which applies? Start with Master Yourself — it is the foundation everything else is built on. Or find your archetype to see which moves matter most for your stage.

1
Master Yourself
LeaderYou might need this if
You react instead of respond when pressure hits
You are burning out but cannot see how to change it
People around you seem cautious or walking on eggshells
You know your patterns are getting in the way but cannot shift them
2
Deliver Relentlessly
TechnologistYou might need this if
The business has lost confidence in the technology team's ability to ship
You are always busy but it is hard to point to what got done
Projects start well but stall before the finish line
Momentum is low and the team feels like it is running in circles
3
Take Ownership
LeaderYou might need this if
Problems get escalated to you instead of solved below you

4
Know the Mission
Leader + InnovatorYou might need this if
Technology decisions get made without enough business context
You are not in the room when strategy gets set
The business sees technology as a cost centre, not a growth driver

5
Speak with Purpose
LeaderYou might need this if
You lose the room when presenting to the board or exec team
Good ideas get dismissed because they were not communicated well
Your team is misaligned even after you have explained the direction
Feedback you give does not seem to land or change behaviour
6
Build Systems
TechnologistYou might need this if
The function falls apart or slows down when you are not in the room
You are the single point of failure for too many decisions
There are no consistent operating rhythms — meetings, reviews, processes
Scaling the team has not scaled the output
7
Grow Others
LeaderYou might need this if
