Episode notes

"I have two kids on the spectrum. One of the things I talk about with my son is that communication talking in particular is not about him to be heard, it's a further receiver so that he can be understood," she says. "He only says exactly how he would understand something and it's impenetrable by normal people ... He gives no non-sequitur left and right all that all the classic types of things."

Allison McMillan, VP of Engineering at Quota Path, joins us to talk about the transformation engineering leaders go through when they become parents and the lessons we can take parenting to our day-to-day as managers. From communication to rewards vs. consequences to dealing with other humans and their unique challenges.
