Episode notes

The most active leader doesn't always come from a single discipline. It is the person with the right personality, person who has to drive. If you have two people who are both equally ambitious, when you have them overporting into another triad, i can just imagine what used to be one on one meeting is now three on three is a six person meeting. You don't care if it's the quarter back per se, that x wizens ease in the huddle and what not. But at the end of the day, you just want leader to step up and that you win the supable.

We welcome Jonathan Nolen, Senior VP of Engineering and Product at LaunchDarkly, to talk about his 100+ people Product Delivery team - a term coined by the company, where Engineering, Product, and Design come together.

Key Takeaways:

Tech companies should shift their mindset from building and shipping software to delivering services to customers.
Having Engineering, Product, and Design as one team with shared goals is key for all companies delivering services.
Impact is not just about visibility. Your teams need to articulate what their impact is, preferably in one sentence.
Structuring your orgs right is necessary for scaling, but finding the right individuals is essential for success.
