Episode Description

In this episode, we are digging into a question a lot of high-performing CSMs have but rarely say out loud: What does it actually take to move from individual contributor to Team Lead? 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

 ✔ What companies actually look for in a CS Team Lead, beyond “top performer”
 ✔ How the role is different from being a strong individual contributor
 ✔ Practical ways to start showing leadership in your current CSM role
 ✔ How to have a clear promotion conversation with your manager and make it easier for them to advocate for you 

This episode is for CSMs who know they are ready for more and want a concrete, practical path into leadership.
