#001 - Amanda Spencer - How to Get What You Want with a Plan

Listen Later


I met Amanda Spencer in a previous company, Riverbed. It was great to catch up and discuss her journey into leadership.

Throughout her career journey, Amanda has learned that if you want something, you've got to go and get it, and that the best leaders are the ones who don't sit and wait for things to happen, but go and make them happen.

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">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 and take actions
  • Brene Brown’s podcast:
  • Coaching and non-negotiables
  • 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
