The EM Playbook
The full path from your first day in the chair to running a steady, high-trust team. Nine modules mapped to the twelve weeks of the program.
Inside the program
Courses for Engineering Managers
Self-paced video courses with the worksheets that turn each lesson into something you actually do with your team this week. The EM Playbook is available in full today, and the next course lands in December.
One available now, one on the way. Both are included, and you never pay again for what gets added.
The full path from your first day in the chair to running a steady, high-trust team. Nine modules mapped to the twelve weeks of the program.
How to run your team, and your own week, with AI actually in the loop.
Each module is mapped to the week of the 90 days where it lands, so you are never watching something you cannot use yet.
Why this is a career change and not a promotion, and what the job actually consists of now.
The two sets of expectations nobody writes down, put side by side so you can see the gap.
The listening tour. Sit down with everyone, find out what is really going on, turn it into two or three things you will do.
What they are for, how to structure them, the questions that get real answers, and what to do when it goes badly.
Your time is now the constraint on everyone else's work. How to choose when all of it is urgent.
Getting work off your plate properly, and saying no upwards without burning the relationship.
Updates people read, team meetings worth attending, and saying it once instead of three different ways.
Staying too close to the detail, being everyone's friend, putting off the conversation, and never giving positive feedback.
Reading your team's health, and the rituals that keep you steady when everything is on fire.
Nothing is locked and nothing expires. The week mapping is a suggested pace, not a gate: you can watch the whole thing in a weekend or take six months over it.
A lesson you watch and forget is worth nothing. Every module ends in something you do.
The listening tour, the 1-1 agenda, the delegation handover, the difficult conversation prep. Filled in about your real team, not a case study.
A written 90 day plan for your actual team, read and marked by our experts and returned with notes.
Finish all nine modules and it is yours, for your manager, your promotion case or your LinkedIn.
Built for people managing a team full time. Most lessons run a few minutes, because a forty minute video on 1-1s is the reason nobody finishes courses.
Taught by Ryan Murphy, who led teams at Yelp for half a decade and is rated the number one career course creator on Dometrain.
One payment. No subscription, nothing to cancel, and everything added later is included.
Along with the expert interviews, the simulations, the quizzes, the Q&A library, the community and your two 1-1s.
