Episode notes

Alison: My current head of product started me as an intern almost six years, directly out of a mathematics degree. And he met his partner at that time at our previous company, and he's about to have a baby, like we're a month away. Alison: I hear it's a very full circle moment of mentoring someone and going from intern to them, seeing them become a father. What is it from that somebody that really impacted you? Are there lessons to be learned there that you apply what your colleagues at work?

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.
