In this episode, Kendall, rachel, and Aaron talk about:
* Learning about managing interpersonal issues from his dad, an "interim CEO of ministers"
* Putting that learning into practice building and fixing teams at startups
* Helping teams identify their own weaknesses as a form of counseling
* How this podcast is not sponsored by Knives Out (ps: Kendall has seen the movie since we recorded this podcast and didn't find it as good as Aaron did.)
* Following the energy on the management > IC > management cycle
* Finally choosing the simplicity of leadership ;)
* Long-term career planning
* The entire category of software that exists because leaders don't trust their people
* Authority trauma from Kendall's past
* The realization that leadership sometimes requires making decisions about things without getting concensus from your team first
* The relationship between unease at doing the above and lack of comfort with authority in general
* Determining how much detail to provide when giving direction
* When your positive ability to build concensus turns into a need and a negative
* The enjoyment when your authority issues align with your role
* How leadership is a lot more about collaboration and cooperation than it is telling people what to do
* Rubik's cube, hiking, being underprepared for overnight conditions
