All the skills you need to become an outstanding CTO
Not so long ago I worked for a technical company in the USA. I had loads of fun and I learned a lot about how American companies do business. But it wasn't an easy job.
My predecessor had implemented everything in Salesforce with layer upon layer of customizations. The entire IT system was complicated, disorganized, and extremely unstable. The system would fail almost daily, and years of this had turned the entire organization against the IT department.
I arrived in a hostile environment and had to defend myself daily from contemptuous and condescending stakeholders. It made my work very difficult.
This course is what I wish I had back then to fully prepare me for the job.
In this course, I will share 15 great leadership hacks with you to make you succeed as CTO.
I will start by helping you get into the right mindset for the role. You will learn how to on-board yourself, how to connect with your team, and how to show up for work asking the right questions.
Then I'll teach you how to gain situational awareness. You will learn how to identify your stakeholders and find out what they expect. We will also look at how your team creates value, and what the stakeholders expect from you and your team This will help you become aware of the political environment you've landed in.
Finally, I'll help you sort out your agile process. I will show you an idealized agile development cycle that you can compare with your reality. This will help you find and address weaknesses quickly and get your team to a higher level.
By the end of the course, you'll be well on your way to become an outstanding CTO.

he should have used visulatizations rahter than just holding the tablet and talking
Content to this point is very basic and standard for any role.
A lot of hesitation during talking of the presenter. Not the nicest voice to listen to. And it seems not to be that informative.
Absolutely fantastic course! The content was well-structured, engaging, and informative. Highly recommend!
It was a great course. Just not sure why the broken-down topics of Agile were considered hacks. Perhaps it was just 10 or 11 hacks where one hack tackled thee agile methodology.
explained in detail about agile process

Because instructor and course is good
This course covers very basic concepts and aligning with team and agile process

you could leave out the scrum/agile bit as this is pretty much the standard now and your aguments seem a bit dated to modern deveoplers. Most teams I've worked have never even worked with anything but scrum/agile :D
