The CTO Playbook: A Practical Guide for Aspiring and First-Time Chief Technology Officers

By Shirish Mishra

Every year, thousands of engineers get promoted into a role nobody trained them for. The CTO Playbook is the practical, no-nonsense guide for engineers stepping into technical leadership - and for first-time CTOs figuring out the job in real time.
Inside: how the CTO role changes from 5 people to 500, frameworks for architecture and hiring decisions, how to lead engineering managers (not just engineers), how to talk to your CEO and board with confidence, plus real case studies, ready-to-use templates, and a checklist at the end of every chapter.
