The LIT Framework Approach

Become CTO employs the proprietary LIT (Leader, Innovator, Technologist) Framework—a holistic approach to developing well-rounded technology executives. Each dimension is taught through the powerful What, How, and Why methodology:

Leader:

• What: Clear definition of leadership responsibilities, team dynamics, and strategic objectives
• How: Practical techniques for communication, delegation, and building high-performance cultures
• Why: Understanding the reasoning behind leadership decisions to develop authentic executive presence

Innovator:

• What: Identification of innovation opportunities and transformation initiatives
• How: Methodologies for fostering creative problem-solving and implementing change
• Why: Rationale for innovation approaches that enables adaptability in different contexts

Technologist:

• What: Essential technical knowledge areas for executive decision-making
• How: Frameworks for evaluating technologies and communicating technical concepts
• Why: Principles that connect technical decisions to business outcomes

This integrated approach empowers technology leaders to not only understand what they need to do and how to do it, but also why specific approaches work—allowing them to develop their own authentic leadership style. The LIT Framework delivers results through:

Personalized Growth Plans: The team identifies specific leadership challenges and creates actionable plans to overcome them.

Practical Skill Development: From strategic communication to stakeholder management, clients develop the critical skills that technical training never covered.

Accountability and Support: Regular check-ins ensure participants are implementing what they learn and adapting strategies to their unique environment.

Measurable Outcomes: Progress is tracked with clear metrics, whether that's team performance improvements, successful project deliveries, or career advancement.

Coaching sessions are tailored to meet clients where they are—whether they're preparing for their first leadership role or looking to scale their impact as senior technology executives.

The FTL Show

The Future Technology Leaders Show offers a self-directed learning path for busy technology professionals who want to develop their leadership skills independently. Unlike the high-touch, personalized coaching programs, The FTL Show provides:

• Weekly bite-sized content designed for independent learning
• On-demand access to leadership insights when and where it fits your schedule
• Practical frameworks and strategies you can implement at your own pace
• Real-world case studies from successful technology leaders
• A starting point for those not yet ready for intensive coaching

The FTL Show community extends beyond content consumption—it's a network of ambitious technology professionals sharing their journeys, asking questions, and supporting each other's growth through self-directed development.

For those who prefer to guide their own leadership journey while still benefiting from expert insights, The FTL Show provides an accessible entry point to the same LIT Framework principles used in Become CTO's coaching programs.
