The Leader's Leap
summary
Defines a concrete pathway from coder to leader with five steps then a sixth return: Call, Fear, Leap, Abyss, Climb, Return. Recommends practical tools: visualize your funeral to build self‑esteem, personal retrospectives for learning, the Eisenhower matrix for time, and no git commits with your name to force delegation. Explains situational leadership (directive vs supportive), how to reallocate learning time, how to present behaviorally and visually, and what to expect in the low, ambiguous abyss.
