Natania Mathany, VP of People at A Thinking Ape, shares how they build great managers in a remote team without drowning everyone in process.
We talk about the leadership gap that shows up when strong ICs get promoted, and how ATA built a clear manager baseline that still leaves room for personal style. Natania breaks down their non-negotiable bi-weekly 1:1s, how they shipped manager training in modules (before it was perfect), and the feedback loops they use to keep improving it through surveys, skip levels, and manager roundtables.
