Game Dev Leads - Critical Skills

80% of managers in games receive no training before they begin leading others.

When you're a lead, very little is prescriptive. Meaning, there are rarely solutions that involve simply following a recipe. "Do these three things and it'll fix a problem involving infinitely complex humans."

I mean, anyone who says that...have they ever met a human? Does that sound realistic?

In these videos I'll share examples from my time as a lead, as well as real world scenarios from consulting clients. Instead of selling snake oil, I'll add tools to your toolbox, and describe situations in which it makes sense to use them.

Game Dev Leads - Critical Skills (Full version launch!)

25+ years in the industry and I'm sharing what I wish I'd been taught before becoming a lead

This updated release contains all 17 topics including Motivation, Handling Conflict, and Burnout Prevention. Each video shares real life examples from my time as a AAA lead or from the decade+ I've spent consulting with game companies. Additional resources included: book reviews I've written on recommended reading, and an index of names and concepts mentioned throughout the series.

Being in a leadership role at a gamedev company is a LOT of responsibility, and if not done carefully it can frustrate even the most motivated person. Luckily when I was struggling with a lot of things on how to approach leadership with my team I found Keith, he listens to you, always keeps a neutral stance and if needed he will call you out on your bs. Being responsible of other humans is hard, don’t do it alone, get Keith to help you do it right, you, your company and your career will thank you for it.
