I met Amanda Spencer in a previous company, Riverbed. It was great to catch up and discuss her journey into leadership.  A difficult first experience as a manager, left to figure everything out by herself, people undermining her authority. Going back to an Individual Contributor role, and crushing it, with top certifications and overachieving results. The company split up, and Amanda is propelled to a leadership position, again. But no support, no training. Then joining VMware as a manager and finally experienced a great onboarding, joining Women in Tech and DE&amp;I activities. Saw someone with a great potential and making a bet on them, “giving them a leg out”. Then becoming a mentor for others. Pay it forward!  We talked about  Trainings like Crucial Conversations, and Crucial Accountability  Blog post about asking what you want: https://debliu.substack.com/p/tell-people-what-you-want  Hiring, and the importance of willing the job. How to identify people that are toxic?  Be brave enough to fix issues, take actions,  Brene Brown’s podcast: https://brenebrown.com/ https://www.blinkist.com/ for book summaries  Coaching and non-negotiables Simon Sinek's Leaders East Last Sending a weekly email with thoughts, learnings, and motivational quotes. Amanda recommended some books: Brene Brown’s Braving the Wilderness, How to Lead and Atomic Habits  Intro Music: credits Dyalla
