What people are saying about How to Create Ownership

Chandrashekhar Shaw

Principal Engineer at Yahoo

Unmatched content. this is not your typical "do this" "do that" course. I learned a lot. He also teaches how to write best code and reduce complexity. How to fight for your design choice and getting support. I was getting tired and this course helped me with performing at principal. Great storytelling skills.

I would definitely, definitely, definitely recommend this course to others who want to become a better engineering leader.

Ruxandra Csutak

Engineering Manager at Priva

Powerful course! Love the people-centric focus, the material feels aligned with my view on leadership, which I love! Extra points for the funny, but pertinent video samples that drive Taha's points home.

Tooba Fatima

Software Engineer I

My best investment of 2025. This course should be taught in universities. It is the missing piece in how to engineer systems while your work gets visibility. I like when Taha says, "If your work is not visible, you're working for free." I learned how to find impactful work and keep people in the loop without slowing down or playing politics.

Abey Joy

Senior Software Engineer at Riot Games

This course transcends typical advice, offering a deeply personalized journey towards career growth. Taha first helps you to understand the core. He understands engineers REALLY well. He highlights examples in engineering that are tried and true patterns that are applicable in this situation. The examples lend credence to the steps that should be taken. Then, he breaks down next steps, which is extremely helpful. The rapid advancement I achieved from Top Engineer feels like a secret passage to level up your growth.

Richa Saraf

Senior Software Engineer at Meta

Last year, I took Taha's coaching to land role at Meta but after the first year, the year of intensity is way beyond coding. I went back for coaching but Taha offered this course as it is 10 times less in price with the same value. My manager says my work is improving and I am working with PMs and leads directly. The course is dense and packed with practical exercises. I recommend watching one video per week.

Peter Logo

Software Engineer at KrownPay

The course gave me a fresh perspective on my areas of improvement beyond technical assessments. I got clarity and identified ways to improve. The content is not your usual "do this" "do that". He understands engineers, and shows you how to work with your emotions so you can work with people. The video on tech debt and design discussion is something you have heard about but he shows you using tools on how to apply it.

Ishan Dhiman

I have met Taha for 1:1 coaching sessions and this course is all of him packed with exercises. He is an engineer who has been through lots of politics and knows how to even make enemies your friend. The videos are packed with his stories at Microsoft, Yahoo and shares practical frameworks with people intelligence.

Aman Azad

Taha's approach is transformative, revealing unseen options and challenging my limits. This course made me realize I had massive blinders on that prevented me from seeing the obvious. My relationships improved, and I am not afraid to push back on bad ideas. This should be taught before you graduate.

Taha goes to the root cause of whatever is causing the problem at hand.

Harshad Chavan

Senior SDE at Amazon

Mindblowing! Even with years of experience as an engineer, I gained 100% more insights into building my career and sharing my work. What stood out to me was the focus on emotional intelligence and how it connects to build confidence. Taha has made everything easy to understand and apply. My wife says I am a better husband now :)

This course is your answer to the "year of intensity" at Meta. Taha showed me how to understand people better , understand company strategy, and see things even some of the pms and tpms didn't know. I started applying them right away as I love the way he explains things and his storytelling is so engaging. Even my better engineering tasks are making a huge impact. Simply brillant and thank you.

Incredible content. A lot of useful information and actionable items. The insights are powerful: I realized some negative patterns I've been running with my career. Now it's time to change that. And thanks to this video, I can start working that, and as Taha says: first fix yourself, then help other (like in the plane with the air masks). I think I can recommend all Taha's material with confidence! His opinions and material are accurate and very very very useful.

Nobody has ever been able to simplify it like this.

Umesh Kacha

Staff Engineer at NetApp

The course is what you expect from Taha's content - raw unspoken truth with easy to follow instructions. Just the first two videos changed the way I approach team work and then he goes into how to go beyond your team and talk about your work. I have been doing that and more and more upper management wants to put me on high visibility projects. Thank you Taha.

I have watched the course twice especially the design discussions and building relationships. It taught me how to share my work so everyone could see my efforts and my ideas. I love how easy it is practice and see the results. This guy is my savior. I can't thank Taha enough to put this together.

I had so many lightbulb moments. As a tech lead, I’m always trying to raise the quality bar on my team, and this course has been a huge help. The section on emotional intelligence hit me hard. I started reflecting on how I approach tough conversations and realized how much I could improve. Taha has an amazing teaching style. It’s real. The stories he shares from his time at Microsoft and Yahoo make you feel like he’s been through the same challenges you’re facing.

Taha breaks down emotional intelligence with scientific methods. After the first lesson, you will approach tough conversations in a way that builds trust instead of tension. Highly engaging. HBO of courses!

Taha's course is extremely deep in terms of thinking about how and why people behave in certain ways. And use frameworks to find the root cause and fix problems at the root. Definitely not just another leadership course, but one which will make you deeply think about how to resolve organizational problems. And lastly Taha's teaching style will keep you engaged throughout! Must attend for anyone who wants to make an impact as a leader.

I’m not someone who’s super into leadership stuff. I just want to be good at what I do. But this course surprised me. It’s built for engineers like me, and Taha’s advice is so straightforward and real. The part on holding people accountable was a big one for me. I always felt awkward about it, but Taha gave me a way to do it that feels natural. I’ve got a lot to learn, but I’m excited about it now.

Hands down the best course on leadership! Taha is a master of calling out BS in the corporate world. I was surprised how he made the concepts so easy to understand. He uses sitcom clips to keep you engaged, share his stories, and reveal the solutions that work right away. Everything was new to me and he backs his methods with science and practical examples. I want more Taha.

A rockstar leadership course! I’m blown away by how Taha simplifies complex relationships into clear, actionable insights. The tools for detecting victimhood mindsets were eye-opening. Plus, the videos and Taha’s engaging presentation style made learning genuinely fun. I’m already hoping for a sequel! 😃

Most leadership courses feel like they’re written for some ideal world that doesn’t exist. This course is different. Taha speaks from experience. His stories and examples are from the real world, not some textbook. He shows you exactly what it means to lead.

I had many aha moments that told me why things did not work in the past.

Bal Krishna

Staff Software Engineer at Visa

Highly practical course but the advice is highly unconventional. Taha talks about how to take everyone with you, even your manager who is not coorperating. I tried the victimhood framework on one junior and she took responsibility of her mistakes. I can also clearly see what my company wants and where the pm is going wrong. I used to be scared on saying these things but now i feel my power. Looking forward to more content Taha. Keep up the good work.

Taha’s course is a transformative experience for anyone seeking to elevate their leadership skills. Taha brilliantly combines emotional intelligence, practical tools, and storytelling to teach you how to create accountability and empower your team. His use of relatable sitcom clips and personal anecdotes keeps you engaged while driving home complex concepts with ease. The course introduces frameworks like the Drama Triangle and the Creator Mindset, which helped me immediately identify and shift unproductive mindsets, both in myself and my team. Taha’s focus on listening as an active, problem-solving tool was a revelation. His methods are backed by science and delivered in a way that’s both approachable and deeply impactful. This is a blueprint for sustainable leadership that builds trust, reduces burnout, and inspires ownership. If you want actionable insights and a fresh perspective on leadership, this course is a must!

His teaching style is so personable and makes things easy to understand and stick. You'll definitely see improved conversations.

Taha’s course is packed with well-researched, actionable techniques to develop ownership mindset in oneself and others on your team. It helped me understand why people avoid ownership and gave me a clear framework to help them take it on. The delivery is crisp, and the use of movie and TV clips makes key concepts easy to internalize. A must-watch for engineering managers and tech leads!

Udit Jain

Senior Engineering Manager at Traveloka

I took the How to Create Ownership course by Taha two weeks ago, and it has completely transformed how I approach leadership. I realized I had been stuck in a cycle of trying to solve every problem myself instead of creating an environment where my team could take true ownership. The course introduced me to powerful frameworks like the Drama Triangle and the Creator Mindset, which gave me a new perspective on how to empower my team effectively. One of the most impactful lessons was on listening. It’s more than just hearing what someone says—it’s about reflecting and guiding conversations to uncover solutions. I’ve already started using this in meetings, and I’ve seen an immediate difference. My team is stepping up, offering ideas, and taking accountability without me having to push them. This course is practical and packed with insights that I could apply right away. Taha’s frameworks made complex leadership challenges feel manageable and gave me tools I didn’t even know I needed. If you want to lead with confidence and help your team thrive, I highly recommend this course.

Taqi Hasan

Sr. Director at Hitachi

Taha has a way of teaching that’s completely addictive. I kept replaying parts of the lessons because his storytelling is amazing. This isn’t some pep talk about being nice. He shows you how to spot what’s going on in a conversation, understand the emotions driving it, and use that to build trust. Also, I wasn’t expecting to watch "everybody loves raymond " in a leadership course :) Taha uses these moments to make you laugh, but then it clicks. It’s impossible not to get it. Rare to find someone who teaches leadership like this.

Impressive. I was casually browsing and started watching the first lesson on ownership. Taha is a great coach. He gave new lenses to understand people when they don't make sense. Throughout the video, I had several moments of goosebumps. I understood why my way of going about challenging people was misunderstood. The framework on listening is something I have seen before but he taught it in a different way. It makes sense and works. I highly recommend you to watch this course.

This course addresses the elephant in the room: you can learn leadership, but it's a lonely road and it's a lot of effort. Not for everyone. Or, for the ones who believe that the success factor #1 is always the people. On this, if you are in tech and will to move into leadership roles, Taha gives you a very specific and special point of view about drama, ownership, and how to manage your fiancée if she has a nail in her forehead :)

When you hear Taha talk, you think you know it already. It's only when he starts unpacking his statements and ideas that you realize he is: a). Giving you a new perspective b). Changing the way you look at a situation c). Making you believe that 'Change within yourself can change everything around you' Taha's method of conveying his perspective is simple, yet packs a punch, and is backed by real-life examples. Highly recommended for professionals looking to tackle bigger challenges.
