How important is it to foster a good culture within your team?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This episode was a really fun and insightful conversation on SE leadership as we chat

computer software industry.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sonu talks about how he was thrust into the leadership role as an SE manager, what it\u2019s like managing a remote team,
