In this insightful episode, Greg Voisen interviews Keith V. Lucas, former Chief Product Officer at Roblox and author of Impact: How to Inspire, Align, and Amplify Innovative Teams. Drawing from nearly three decades of experience in engineering leadership and startup growth, Keith shares how leaders can build what he calls “engines of innovation” — self-reinforcing systems that empower people to get things done together.

From scaling Roblox from a small team to thousands of employees, Keith unpacks the real-world lessons behind his leadership philosophy — emphasizing aligned autonomy, mission-driven culture, and visionary hiring practices. He discusses the pivotal shift leaders must make from being expert individual contributors to becoming facilitators of shared vision, trust, and mastery.

Whether you’re leading a startup, managing a growing engineering team, or rethinking organizational culture, this episode offers actionable frameworks on how to lead with clarity, purpose, and empathy — while maintaining innovation at scale.

What Listeners Can Learn:
-Leadership as a learned skill
-Building aligned and autonomous teams
-Hiring through vision, not job titles
-Coaching frameworks for team growth
-Creating culture without bureaucracy
-Asking the three key leadership questions
