About this audiobook

From Code to People You were exceptional at the technical work. That's why you got promoted. Now everything has changed. Instead of debugging code, you're navigating conflicts. Instead of writing clean architecture, you're writing performance reviews. Instead of solving problems alone, you're responsible for a team of people you weren't trained to lead. From Code to People gives you the system that fixes this. The CQ Leadership Method combines three practical frameworks: Process Communication Model® (PCM®) for understanding people the way you understand systems, Contracting for eliminating the "I thought you meant..." conversations before they start, and the Wheel of Conflict for diagnosing and resolving team dysfunction at the root. No theory. No MBA required. Just tools that work on Monday morning. For technical leaders who are ready to become the kind of leader their team actually wants to work for.
