We hung out with Evan on the most recent episode of Engaging Leadership by EngageRocket and talked through how startups can build strong leadership cultures. Here are some of the big things that stood out to me: 💡Even in fast-paced startup environments, it's crucial to focus on building robust people management skills among emerging leaders. 💡 Leveraging and spotlighting internal subject matter experts can enhance collaborative learning and standardize best practices across the organization. 💡Encouraging managers to adopt a systems-thinking approach can help them see beyond immediate problems and consider broader organizational impact. 💡Establishing both people-management and technical expertise tracks can help retain talent and foster growth without forcing upward mobility.
