What is a sprint?
In tech, a sprint is a short, focused work cycle (typically 1–4 weeks) designed to achieve specific goals quickly and iteratively.
It breaks big challenges into manageable steps, allowing teams to move fast, test ideas, and adapt in real time. .

The Challenge
Transitioning into leadership roles can be overwhelming.
Early-career leaders, often promoted for their technical expertise and individual contributions, without the proper tools and support may feel:
- Overwhelmed by the demands of leadership.
- Unprepared for tasks like managing people, resolving conflicts, and driving results.
- Afraid to Fail, which leads to hesitation, missed opportunities, and disengagement.
For companies, this creates:
- High Turnover: Underprepared leaders burn out or quit, costing time and money.
- Team Frustration: Ineffective leadership harms morale, collaboration, and productivity.
- Lost Potential: Talented employees fail to reach their full leadership potential due to lack of support.
