About
Hi! I'm Ben. I've been a manager and a leader in the tech industry for over 25 years. Before that, I was a software engineer. I've managed hundreds of software engineers as well as people in a range of other roles, and have helped many of them make the transition from individual contributor to being a people manager.
Scruffy Leadership videos are aimed at anyone making that transition (or who has already made the transition) who wants to be as successful at leadership and management as possible. Most of the videos are pretty general, though, and should be interesting to anyone in any leadership position, particularly in the tech industry.
