Episode 14 - Inside the Mind of an Engineering Manager With Olaoluwa Faniyi
We've been made to believe that most successful products in the techosystem were built by companies that had great engineering leadership and that is why in today's episode we invited Olaoluwa Faniyi to chat about Engineering management and leadership. In this episode, our guest shares some of the valuable lessons learned from managing engineering teams as well as some widely unspoken discussions that need to be heard more in the techosystem.
