Refactor Management: Foundations Workshop
Pre-registration is open!
The transition from engineer to manager requires a foundational shift in how you think. You've spent years optimizing code, architecture, and technical systems. Now you're responsible for optimizing a very different kind of system: your team's collaboration, communication, and output. This workshop teaches new engineering managers how to apply systems thinking to people management, giving you practical frameworks for navigating team conflicts, managing the changing dynamics with colleagues at all levels, and defining success in your new role. Walk away with confidence, proven tools, and a clear 90-day roadmap for a successful transition into engineering management.
You won't be learning alone. This interactive workshop brings together new engineering managers facing the same challenges you are. Through role-playing real management scenarios and collaborative problem-solving exercises, you'll practice handling difficult conversations and work through team dynamics challenges. You'll receive a comprehensive handbook in advance with frameworks and tools, then spend the day applying them with peers who understand exactly what you're going through.

This workshop is led by Peat Bakke, who has navigated the complete journey from intern to CTO across 25+ years in tech - from startups to Fortune 100 companies. He's built and scaled engineering teams at every level, from being the first engineer to overseeing entire software and IT operations as VP and CTO, and has probably made every management mistake you're worried about making. Through all of it, he's learned firsthand what works (and what doesn't) when moving from individual contributor to team leader.
