About this listen

The job of a Chief Technical Officer is broad, ever-changing, and hard to define.

Is the CTO an engineer, an architect, a people manager, or an executive?

Turns out, in most cases, it’s all of the above—and even the most experienced “techies” often find themselves feeling underprepared for the human and logistical sides of this pivotal role.

In this engaging yet eminently practical book, consultant and veteran CTO Zach Goldberg shares his guidance on handling the complexities of one of business’s hardest to define roles, and provides clear pathways through the most common challenges facing startup CTOs and technical founders. From managing other executives, to hiring (and firing), to supporting engineers through critical rollouts, this book has frameworks, best practices, and guidance to help you build a high-performing, happy engineering organization.

This book is a must-listen for all founders, as well as anyone transitioning from a technical or engineering role to the position of CTO. With Goldberg’s knowledge at your fingertips, you’ll soon master both the science and the art of leading a high-performing technical team.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
