I reunite with my friend, Sarah E. Brown, VP of Marketing at Sastrify, to talk about her new book, Lead Upwards: How Startup Joiners Can Impact New Ventures, Build Amazing Careers, and Inspire Great Teams. My biggest weakness as a startup executive is leading upwards. In fact, a former boss of mine once said to me, “Why don’t you call me once in a while, Bill.” Doh! I prefer to lead downwards. So, when Sarah published this book, I thought it was time to own up and improve.
