About this Episode

In this episode Kendall, rachel, and Ian talk about:

• Hipster bicycles
• Ian's backstory in the military
• Deciding you like startups, and then ending up at Amazon
• Developing motivation toward the goal vs using discipline to lead your team
• Learning from bad managers
• Management at scale, high-volume hiring
• Pushing for shared experience for remote vs on-premises team members
• Realizing that everyone is not like you (gasp!)
• Having autonomy as a child means it's harder to handle micromanagement as an adult
• Walking the fine line of projecting confidence vs being vulnerable to your team
• Kendall learns about the concept of humility (again :))

You can find Ian at @ircolle most places on the internet.
