Gaining the Technology Leadership Edge is for CTOs, VPs of Engineering, and senior technology leaders who are paying the hidden price of being indispensable.
If everything still depends on you—decisions, escalations, delivery, and “just one more quick fix”—this show is for you.
Hosted by Mike Mahony, creator of the Decentralized A-Team Method, GTLE breaks down why high-performing tech leaders get trapped as bottlenecks—and how to build teams that think, decide, and execute without constant oversight.
This isn’t a hustle podcast. It’s not leadership theater. And it’s not about working harder or being more inspirational.
Each episode explores real leadership failure modes inside scaling tech organizations—dependency, overfunctioning, fragile execution—and replaces them with practical systems for decentralizing ownership, engineering autonomy, and scaling without burning out.
Through direct analysis, real-world case patterns, and conversations with experienced leaders, GTLE helps senior technical leaders stop being the smartest person in the room—and start building teams that don’t need them to survive.
If you’re responsible for other people’s output—and you know the current model won’t scale—this show was built for you.
