Creator of the CQ Leadership Method, combining structure and psychology to make leadership actually work in tech environments.
I kept seeing the same pattern in tech teams.
The best engineer gets promoted to manager… and suddenly they’re on their own. No tools. No framework. No preparation for leading people.
Being great at the work doesn’t make you great at leading the people doing the work. And everyone in the team pays the price.
I’ve seen it from the inside. I’ve worked as a Team Lead, Manager, and Head of L&D and Performance Management in different organizations, locally in Poland and globally. I’ve sat with leaders who were burning out while genuinely trying their best. I’ve watched talented people leave. Not because of the workload or money, but because their manager didn’t have the tools to create an environment where they could stay.
That broke something in me. Because it’s preventable.
So I built LemanSkills and the CQ Leadership Method. Not a collection of tips, but a structured system combining Process Communication Model® (PCM®) and Transactional Analysis.
A way to understand how people think, communicate, and behave under pressure and what to do about it in real situations.
My path wasn’t linear.
I’m a former violinist who turned into a management engineer and then became an organizational psychologist. Over the way, I’ve become obsessed with one specific problem: Why do great technical people struggle so much when they step into leadership?
The answer, every time, comes back to the same thing. Not intelligence. Not effort. Not even experience. It’s the lack of a system for understanding people
That system exists. I’ve built it.
I've built four products - not to have a full portfolio - but because I realized that different leaders need different doors into the same transformation.
Most leadership keynotes inspire for a moment and disappear. Mine are designed to change how your audience communicates, thinks, and leads the moment they go back to work.
When I stand in front of a room full of tech leaders, I’m not there to motivate for 48 hours. I’m there to show them something they haven’t been shown before:
That the hours they’re losing every week to miscommunication, misalignment, and team friction aren’t inevitable. They’re fixable.
Using the CQ Leadership Method, I break down how communication actually works in teams, and give leaders practical ways to start doing it differently immediately.
What the audience walks away with:
Based on real work with tech teams, not theory, drawing from PCM® and Transactional Analysis applied in practice.
There’s a better way to lead, and it’s learnable.
Understanding communication is one thing. Changing how your team actually works is something else. This is where the CQ Leadership Method moves from insight into practice.
In workshops and growth programs, we work on real situations from your team, not theory.
We look at how your people communicate, where friction shows up, and what breaks down under pressure. Then we apply the method directly to those moments.
What makes this different? This work makes your team:
This is practical, structured work designed to create measurable change, not just better intentions.
We use assessments, track progress, and connect improvements in communication to real business outcomes: so you can see the impact, not just feel it.
This is where teams stop working around problems and start solving them.
This book exists because the method needed to go further than I can.
The CQ Leadership Method is not a collection of leadership tips.
It’s a structured system built from years of working inside tech organizations, running sessions with leaders, and translating theory into what actually works on a real Monday morning.
In the book, I’ve captured the core of that system: how people think, how communication breaks down, and what to do differently as a leader.
What the reader gets:
Whether you work with me or not, this is the foundation. Because leadership shouldn’t depend on trial and error.
You don’t need a big budget or a free calendar to start improving how you lead.
The courses are designed for tech leaders who want practical tools they can apply immediately, without waiting for the “right moment.”
You’ll learn how communication actually works in teams, why certain patterns keep repeating, and what to do differently in your day-to-day leadership. All based on the CQ Leadership Method.
What you get:
This is not theory. It’s the foundation you can start applying immediately.
Built for the moments when you’re still thinking about that conversation that went wrong—or wondering why your team didn’t respond the way you expected.
You don’t have to figure this out alone.
No matter which path you take: workshops, courses, the book, or a keynote, the goal is the same:
To give you the tools to understand people, communicate clearly, and lead without constant frustration.
Because at the end of the day, you matter as a leader to the people in your team.
And they deserve someone who knows how to lead them well.
