“You Don’t Report to Me. You Work With Me”

40% Better - Engineering Leadership

About
“You don’t report to me. You work with me.”

Bill sits down to talk with Nir Valtman, co-founder of Arnica, whose leadership began when the Israeli Air Force told him the only way to teach was to become a commander.

They dig into leading by example, inviting people to challenge you even at town halls, aligning leaders with conflicting goals, and knowing which disagreements are worth having.

Plus: the mentor question that introduced Nir to the Wheel of Life, and his two pieces of advice for anyone moving into leadership.
