The difference is that not every student follows the same curriculum, as we work with PDPs (personal development plans), tailored to the medior&#8217;s pace and needs, with a focus on both soft and hard skills. Where are the talents, and which skills are still needed to become a team lead?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re almost literally handed a map that shows you the direction you can go, and it evolves as you grow,\u201d says Diego Llera. \u201c<strong>As a co-architect of the Academy, it&#8217;s great to see how this allows people to grow rapidly in a short amount of time, which then motivates us to further refine the programs and make them even more millennial-proof.<\/strong>\u201d He continues, \u201cAlso because the program is continuous: you keep learning, especially because you\u2019re surrounded by peers to whom you can ask any questions. Every evening, you go home with something new you\u2019ve learned.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also maintain a culture of lifelong learning here by emphasizing non-stop constructive feedback among those peers. This keeps you in learning mode within the Academy. And once you start as a T-shaped team lead, you\u2019ll continue to learn a lot about coaching leadership. That\u2019s even the most challenging part: leading, coaching, and motivating your own team until it becomes self-managing. After that, you&#8217;re set for years to come. In other words, when Alexander moves on, it doesn\u2019t end for him.
