Chris Avore and I have spent a good amount of our time learning from each other’s mistakes. I’m pretty sure I’ve learned more from Chris and I’ve made more of the mistakes in this match-up, which seems a little unfair in this co-authorship arrangement.

That said, we’re really excited about what we’ve collectively learned and have been actively working on in order to make our lives as managers and leaders better, and we can’t wait to share it with you!

We’re taking a practical approach to tackling the topics that we’ve found really important in our roles. We learned a lot of these things the hard way. We hope that they’ll help you, too, as you work through what it means to tackle a new role which also requires a whole new set of skills. And we’re hopeful that we can help you make that transition from great designer to great manager and leader, and if you’re already in that role, we’re hoping to lend a hand augmenting what you already know.

Onward!
