Have you ever heard of an employee NPS of 90? I hadn't, until I joined the board of dbt Labs, which just announced their Series D today.In this podcast, dbt Labs's founder and CEO Tristan Handy and I think out loud about his leadership style and his organization’s unique culture, which have contributed to extremely high engagement among team members. We talked about:

* How modern CEOs differ from CEOs historically, and the differentiated, effective style of leadership exhibited by introverts

* How Tristan and his cofounders formulated their company values and embedded them into their organization’s ways of working

* What "data orientation" means at dbt Labs

* How to respond when team members challenge you
