With our structured leadership program, supporting stdlib, integrations, and optional extensions so you can learn by doing.

PROBLEM & SOLUTION

Leadership isn't as clear as code

Leadership is different. You're managing people, priorities, and complex situations without a manual.

Generic courses don't reflect engineering realities, leaving you to figure it out alone.

Debugging Leadership helps you learn, build, and practice real leadership skills with the support you need all in one platform.

TESTIMONIALS

What others say

Justin Gould

Head of Technology

"I was so impressed with the impact the program made that we expanded it to a different audience in the following year. The customisation Andrew made to the content really made it stick with our team."

Barry Scott

Engineering Manager - Mobile apps

"The mindsets and models around Difficult Conversations, such as poor performance, have helped me be more confident and successful in handling them. I find myself referring back to the discussions we have that provided clarity and useful perspectives."
