Forest interviews Dana Ross, a Senior Engineering Manager at Grindr, about her insights as a leader. We chat about how to successfully interview candidates. There is a discussion about how gender impacts empathy and leadership. During the gender discussion Forest mentions Abby Wambach and We Can Do Hard Things ( http://wecandohardthingspodcast.com/ ). When asked what a 10 out of 10 leader looks like Dana gave Lee Cockerell (former EVP of Disney Resorts https://www.leecockerell.com/ ) as an example. We also geek out for a bit about Star Trek.
