Great interviews- these managers seemed very nice to work for and had great answers. I was hoping the question or that someone mentioned, how does a manager deal with leadership, when there's a need for more resources and the team (including development) is overwhelmed? Also, how does manager determine and communicate to the their directors about the length of training on their proprietary systems?
