How I evaluate executives: listening and references

Tony Xu, co-founder and CEO of DoorDash, joins the Glue Guys for a rare deep-dive into how great teams, great leaders, and great organizations are actually built. Tony shares the real story behind DoorDash’s climb — from years of near-failure, to navigating fierce competition, to developing a culture that values humility, experimentation, and continuous improvement. What emerges is a remarkably honest look at what it takes to perform under pressure, stay resilient through setbacks, and lead with clarity as the stakes rise.
