Follow the Leader: How to Be the Example and Transform Engineering Teams (with Jossie Haines, Executive Coach)

As a leader, it’s important to model the behaviour you want to instill in your team. If you’re feeling burned out and not sure about taking the vacation you need to take it. That’s what you’d want any member of your team to do so they can perform at 100%.

In episode #157, Jossie explains how leaders can discourage burnout, improve their empathy and eliminate bias when working with different teams.

We also touch on how to earn the respect of your team and the things we come face to face with on the journey of becoming a more inclusive leader.

Jossie Haines has over 22 years of experience in the tech industry as an award-winning software engineering leader at the forefront of emerging consumer technology across Silicon Valley, including leadership roles at Apple, Tile, Zynga, and American Express.

Today, Jossie is the CEO and founder of Jossie Haines Consulting where she offers coaching and consulting services with the underlying goal of retaining more women in tech.

Tune in to hear all about Jossie’s leadership journey and the lessons learned along the way!
