One doesn't simply walk into a management position -what I learned...
summary
Five concrete levers drive the move from developer to CTO: the critical decision to stop coding (coding stopped about eight years before promotion), regular role descriptions and detailed career paths with measurable criteria, and people practices that actually change outcomes — 360° reviews, stay interviews, coaching and split part‑time hires. Cites stark gaps: introverts drop from ~50% at entry to ~2% at the top and women fall from ~48% to ~24% at executive levels, and shows these interventions reduce bias and retain talent.
