Successfully managing remote companies

I had the chance to talk to Eric Johnson, the CTO of GitLab about

  • How to manage remote teams: async, stand-ups, onboarding, burn out, internships, compensation, and more
  • How Gitlab uses git for everything from Marketing to Policy
  • The difference between servant-leadership and situational leadership and when to use what
    • A message to those who think parenthood might take away from their career
    • If you loved his straight-talking ReadMe about himself, you will also like this thought-provoking episode on leadership, management, and of course remote work from someone who manages a completely remote team of 560, in a company of 1300+

      BROUGHT TO YOU BY:

      Sastrify and Fastly

      Sastrify

      Thanks a lot to my friends at Sastrify for sponsoring this episode.
      A lot of CTOs I know are responsible for procurement of software as a service tools by accident and never have the time and energy to work on optimizing their costs.
      For example: at my company OMR, we have a lot of tools… Gsuite, Adobe creative cloud, Newrelic and many more.
      Sastrify helps companies like ours to optimize those costs & negotiate with suppliers of such software.
      In our case they helped us to save around 20.000€ per year, which is a lot if you look at our company size of around 150 people.
      It is a simple and hassle-free process we went through and I can just recommend anyone listening to do the same. They actually promise to save more money than they cost.

      They are already working with a lot of alphalist members such as Runstatic, Westwing and Emma.

      They are giving a 50% discount for the first 3 months to all podcast listeners so go to www.sastrify.com/alphalist to get started today
