One size does not fit all
The transition from designer to leader is hard.
The journey towards maturing your design practice is filled with abstract concepts and ever-changing dynamics.
While there's a good amount of high-level leadership material out there, simply reading a book or completing a LinkedIn Learning course won’t take you there.
