Most engineering leaders assume rising up means compromising your time, your family, and eventually who you are. Erin Hatzikostas proves that's a lie โ and the leaders who buck it get better results.
Zach sits down with Erin, former CEO who tripled her company's earnings by refusing the "executive club" playbook. She unpacks the compromise calculation most leaders run when they get tapped for a bigger role, why working harder is actually the lazy way to lead, and how strategic authenticity (not just "being yourself") wins the talent war, closes better deals, and builds the kind of team where your job actually gets easier.
You'll learn:
Why working harder in a bigger role means you're leading worse โ not more committed
The "compromise calculation" that talks great leaders out of the next role, and how to break it
How authenticity is an action verb, not a personality trait โ and where to start (hint: your out-of-office)
Why doing it your own way actually wins negotiations, keeps top talent, and makes leadership less exhausting
