Episode notes

i used to just feel it in y i hated it, like i just, i hated the thought that usase were getting a bad experience. We all get paid out of the same bank account, right? Like the no matter what's going on, you you have to just get here and help with things. I don't i don't think anything else is someone else's problems. And at the end of the day, if things start to fall apart and degrade, it becomes everyone's problem in a way that's really, really problematic. If you build a team of people that really care about the company succeeding and gettinggetting things done, you can benefit in so many other ways.

On this episode of Developing Leadership, Sam Lambert, CEO of PlanetScale and previously VP of Engineering at GitHub, joins us to talk about building high-performance teams. We chatted about leading with influence, advocating for your team, creating delightful hiring experiences, knowing when to fire people and how to keep your software engineers close to your end-users to build great products.

One of the biggest takeaways from this episode is that you have to start with yourself if you want to build a high-performance team. So if you're looking for pointers on how to be a better leader for your team and for your company, this episode is for you!
