Episode notes

If you think leadership topics only apply to managers and above, think again! In this video interview, I was joined by Adrian Stanek. We got chatting about leadership principles, and they're all applicable to different roles and levels.

I really like how Adrian framed his four pillars. The concepts rang very true for me, and I think there's a lot of value here for software engineers.

Thanks for the chat, Adrian!
