À propos de ce contenu audio
What if the secret to great leadership is actually learning to say no? Annie Riley sits down with Gautam Prabhu, VP of Engineering at Scribe AI and longtime startup operator, to unpack his lessons from 25+ years of building teams at PagerDuty, Zendesk, and Opentrons. Gautam talks through why leaders should treat every “yes” as a promise, how winning teams are built through systems (not heroics), why a bad decision is better than no decision at all, and how he builds trust through honesty and accountability.
