This blog helps technology managers to grow as people managers.
Hi. I’m Greg, an experienced technology manager. I lead people on infrastructure, operations and engineering teams.
Management is hard.
Many of us in tech leadership positions got promoted into management from individual contributor roles, me included. The transition from hands-on technologist to people manager is rife with unfamiliar situations. You can’t google your way across a minefield! Some days, you wanna throw up your hands and quit.
Hang in there. I’m here to help.
I’ve grown into the people management role, making mistakes, learning lessons and gaining valuable experiences along the way. This blog provides my insights into people management for technology managers, especially first-time managers. Most of the blog posts are based on T-shirts.
T-shirts?
Seriously?
Yes!
I’m not a ninja, rock star or whisperer. I’m a funky T-shirt guy. T-shirts with offbeat graphics appeal to me. I thought it would be fun to frame the blog posts around those T-shirt graphics. Plus, it gives me a chance to be creative, using those graphics to tell a story.
Being in management can be hard at times, but it’s worth the effort. I love what I do. Learn more about me here.
