In this episode, I chat with Anita Singh, who stepped into a managing manager role at the rapidly growing ultrafast grocery delivery company Gorillas and shared her experience of this in a talk at LeadDev Berlin 2022. We talk about the feeling of more responsibility but with less control and how the perspective of the first team changes.
