How do you balance future planning while maintaining flexibility to adapt to changes? 

In episode #178, Leah Tharin shares her insights from working in tech and start-ups for over 20 years. She covers how to lead your team through constant change, aligning your team with team goals, and why you should allow people to try a job before they commit to it.
