Steady Build: Broadening Exposure and the Priceless Perspective of People Management with Daniel Paluszek (2/3)

Episode notes

Could a greater understanding of what people managers do make you a better individual contributor? And would it also cause you to treat your manager differently? For Daniel Paluszek, our guest this week in episode 338, it definitely did. And though this was a short stint in Daniel’s career, he refers to that experience as priceless. This week in part 2 of the story you’ll hear about Daniel’s experience working in professional services both in pre-sales and post-sales and how he built expertise to help increasingly larger customers over time. Daniel will reflect on the lessons learned from his time as a people leader, and pay special attention to the moment when Daniel turns the microphone on John during our discussion! We also explore the reasons why Daniel eventually chose to move back to the individual contributor side of the house. How do you think your mindset would be different when making a move like this? Listen to the full story from Daniel’s perspective. Original Recording Date: 06-11-2025 Daniel Paluszek is a Principal Partner Technology Strategist at ServiceNow.
