A technical person's guide to every business skill you need to succeed in a technical career. Reduce the guesswork required to pitch and sell your ideas, understand strategy and commercial context, and create successful business relationships.
Hi! I'm Grant, and I'm the publisher of a new business book for technical people, Master Expert: how to use Expertship to achieve peak performance, seniority and influence in a technical role.
Or to put another way, it's a bumper guide to learn all the business skill you need to succeed in tech.
WHY DO I NEED THIS BOOK? BECAUSE IT BALANCES THE SCALES
If you're an individual contributor, it's easy to feel ripped off.
From their first day on the job, non-technical managers get a LOT of support that individual contributors and makers don't. A proper career ladder. Appraisals, Mentoring. Networking. Capability frameworks. Support, connections - they're trained to deal with whatever business problems come along.
Technical people don't get that support. You need strong business skills to succeed as a senior dev or data scientist or engineer, and you shouldn't have to struggle to work it as you go along.
That's not easy (or fair).
