Trust is like a jar of marbles. 

Each marble in the jar can represent a positive interaction that helps build trust between two people.

However, just as easily as marbles can be added to the jar, they can also be removed. Negative experiences or actions can quickly deplete the trust that has been built.

In episode #142, Rukmini Reddy shares how she is purposeful with her leadership and communication style to build strong relationships. 

Rukmini Reddy is the SVP of Engineering, Platform at Slack with over five years of experience building successful, driven teams at the VP level.

Rukmini shares how and why we should hug the elephant, rather than point at it, meaning having candid conversations and creating psychological safety to discuss difficult topics and acknowledge the emotional toll of change.

Tune in to hear all about Rukmini’s leadership journey, building team alignment, and becoming a more influential person.
