Most people think senior technical leadership means being good at everything. It doesn't — and that belief is what stalls careers. Meri Williams has led engineering at Monzo, M&S, Moo, Healx and Pleo. Architect, manager of 300+, multi-time CTO and board advisor, she breaks down the six capabilities that actually define the role. What you’ll learn: • Why leadership isn't a promotion from engineering — it's a career change • The six skills behind CTO, VP Engineering, Director and Staff-plus roles • How to work out what your company genuinely needs from you • Where you'll excel, where you'll stretch, and where you may be miscast • How to evaluate a new role properly before you say yes • Why you don't need to be five out of five on every dimension For Directors on the rise, VPs wanting clarity, Staff and Principal engineers weighing the leadership path, and CTOs sharpening theirs.
