Today’s conversation with Maya Gershon takes you through her story of making the transition from being a successful engineer working in R&D to CEO of Vade, an innovative startup. In this episode, you’ll hear the many lessons she learned on her journey. She shares how she worked on herself to become a leader because it didn’t come naturally to her. Her employees knew her only as of the taskmaster and didn’t really know her as a person. So she shifted her perspective and started to share more about herself. How to micromanage respectfully but still give your employees more freedom? Can you develop the characteristics of the leader as you go? This episode is full of tips on how to develop yourself from a results-driven manager to a people leader.
