Most technology executives and managers fit a specific personality profile - the typical "Type A". Highly intelligent, overachievers with the reputation for rolling up their sleeves and getting things done. They thrive on structure and are consummate perfectionists, always demanding nothing but the best from themselves and their employees.

But these same traits that make managers successful as technologists can hamper their ability to create networks and build relationships across company functions.

At Edizen, we believe experience can be learned. To help technology mangers develop the skills and behaviors to accelerate learning and move their careers forward, we offer Edizen PDA^SM – a development program specifically designed to meet the needs of technology organizations and technical managers.
