How was this program developed?
Hi, I’m Joel Beasley the Host of the #1 Technology Leadership podcast Modern CTO and Author of the book Modern CTO.
After being a leader in technology for over a decade I shared what took me from developer to technology leader in my first book Modern CTO.
I became obsessed with what make the greatest technology leaders great. I went around the world and interviewed 135 of the greatest leaders in technology on this planet. From Startups to Billion dollar companies like Microsoft, T-Mobile, and VMware.
From these interviews I’ve collected and distilled over 70 common skills and experiences. However, after reading every book on technology leadership and leadership in general I realized I didn’t know much. We forget what we learn unless we take action with that knowledge.
Learning from a book or course is forgotten when no action is taken in the real world. You only GAIN experience when you take action with knowledge.
I made the decision to build a technology leadership program that was logical. One where you spend 3 minutes learning, and immediately take action so that you gain real experience in 10 minutes once per week. Over the course of a year you’ll gain 52 real experiences in leadership executing the skills of the greatest technology leaders on earth.
After the initial success in the Enterprise version of the Leadership Program, I’ve released a version that is for individuals who want to grow as leaders. That is the program you are reading about right now.
There are many great benefits to read below like the Gamified aspect, the Community pieces, Leadership Conference and that you get a dedicated Leadership Advisor to walk you through the entire program.
This is everything that I wish I had making the transition into leadership. I did it the difficult way and now I’ve made it easy for you to do it yourself. The trail has been blazed, now you simply have to make the decision to walk it.
Are you in?

How does the program work?
What makes this program unique and how exactly does it work?
Complete Challenges
Every week you’ll receive a new LeaderBit challenge in video form which is under 3 minutes. Each challenge takes less than 10 minutes to complete and ends with you gaining real experience. Isn’t gaining experience with a specific skill much better than learning about a skill and never using it?
Develop Professionally
Challenges will develop your knowledge in Business, Strategy and Psychology. This allows you to have a sharp professionally developed mind. Good way to spend 10 minutes a week, isn’t it?
Advance Your Career.
After a year you’ll have documented and obtained 52 experiences as a technology leader. These experiences export beautifully from the ReflectDB to serve as a portfolio of your leadership experience. That would be impressive to present when asking for more, right?
Gain Experience
LeaderBits is designed based on how humans learn. Each challenge contains Knowledge + Action for you to take resulting in an immediate Experience with a leadership skill. Would you agree that Knowledge + Action = Experience is a better formula than Long course + Forgetting = fun fact from the course?
Become More Valuable
In life, the more valuable to the market you are, the more money you make. The world has a shortage of great leaders. Are you ready to step it up and become more valuable to the market?
