Episode notes

Sam and jason talk about the importance of mental health in a high performance team. They also discuss why some people who used to work with you at previous companies have now come over for your skill set. Sam: I think it came from being consistent with them and the knowing who i was previously. Jason: We're building a product for developers, a data base for developers. And we often will kind of rily say that we're the only data base built for developers.

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!
