📌 Balancing Growth & Retention in Leadership
In this segment, a VP of Engineering explains how, during periods of growth, the bulk of his responsibilities—about 60‑70% of his time—are devoted to recruiting new talent and retaining existing staff. He stresses the importance of strong subordinate leaders to handle day‑to‑day operations while he remains engaged for critical deliveries and urgent issues. The speaker highlights the high cost of turnover, framing retention as an equally vital part of recruiting effort.
