Our guest today is Anand Safi. He started his career as an engineer with a strong interest in leadership, then found opportunities to learn and contribute as a coach and mentor at MentorCruise, Plato, BestPracticer, and First Round Fast Track. Over the past ten years, he has worked at eBay, Intent, Insurity, and is an executive contributor to Brainz Magazine. He is now Director of Engineering at Mark43. In this episode, we talk about Anand’s leadership journey from individual contributor to manager and coach.

In this episode you’ll learn:

  • What makes a team sustainable, and how to manage your time so that you can be both productive and available.

  • How to get buy-in from your team and stakeholders by approaching presentations as conversations.

  • Why it’s important to stay vulnerable and open when starting a new role, even when you feel like you have to impress and strive for perfection… and how to do it!

We found it really inspiring to hear how Anand has balanced his deep interest in leadership with a realistic perspective about what’s actually possible in the day-to-day. He’s got some great advice for keeping track of the big picture, avoiding burnout, and supporting your team for sustainable success by always being just one Slack message away.
