The 11-Level Playbook Every CTO Needs to Scale with Confidence
Has your team grown, but you still feel like everything depends on you?
The CTO Levels Framework is a proven system created by Etienne de Bruin, CTO, that shows you the level your tech org should be operating at, assesses where you’re stuck and develops an action plan to level up your leadership.
The most effective tech leaders know exactly where they stand and what level they should be playing at to lead, scale, and influence with confidence.
This quick input helps us pinpoint the strategic level you’re operating at based on just two factors:
- Team size
- Annual Budget
Find out where you stand. We’ll instantly give you a tailored snapshot of your growth zone, common blind spots, and your next big move.
Get a personalized report that benchmarks your leadership, highlights growth opportunities, and helps you scale your team more effectively.
