Promotion instead of certificate:
Participants — and their manager — receive concrete tips for further development. You’ll use them as part of a personal development plan and for performance reviews.
Leaders instead of managers:
Even developers with purely technical mindsets can learn how to work excellently with people. That’s key for your company’s success. Without top-notch managers worthy of follow-through you cannot retain real talent or senior developers.
Demand real know-how instead of general platitudes.
