We took another dive into the large pile of books…and came up with Skunkworks by Ben R Rich and Leo Janos Plane geek alert! This week we look at innovation, planes and whether the key lessons of one of the most infamous innovation labs can be translated into business, government and everywhere. A slight warning and apology - when Seán says “lets talk about the planes for 30seconds” it went a lot longer than that!! Strap in Maverick, its time to buzz the control tower.

We sat down with Claus Moberg to discuss his career trajectory, from meteorology student and hardware CEO to current VP of Eng @ Roblox! We also cover how to overcome obstacles when scaling leadership, leading teams outside of your technical depth/knowledge, attracting & recruiting top talent, finding “diamonds in the rough,” and how to communicate effectively between business functions & eng teams. Claus also shares his best frameworks for navigating complex conversations and taking measured risks while scaling eng functions.ABOUT CLAUS MOBERGClaus Moberg leads engineering for the Roblox User Group. His teams are responsible for the applications and experiences through which over 58.5 million users explore and experience the Roblox Metaverse every day. Claus has worked at Roblox since the summer of 2016, leading teams across multiple engineering and product disciplines (VR, Consoles, Mobile, Social, Personalization) and geographies (San Mateo, CA and Shenzhen, CN).“The key mistake to avoid is to think that a lack of domain experience is an excuse to not engage at that level of depth, right? It's not.It's actually an obligation to engage at the maximum level of depth that's necessary to solve the problem, but it's an opportunity to engage, avoiding buzz words, and using plain English, and sort of doing it in a way that makes communication more clear as opposed to less clear throughout the organization.”- Claus Moberg   SHOW NOTES:How Claus transitioned from meteorology student to VP of Eng at Roblox (2:17)Utilizing a maximization function for career strategy & decision-making (6:25)Claus's early days at Roblox (9:03)Looking to the team & product space when facing uncertainties (12:56)Strategies for scaling leadership & building eng teams (14:52)The correlation between an amazing team & an amazing product (17:48)Techniques for building technical depth within eng leadership (19:09)Frameworks for effective communication between eng teams & business functions (21:24)Best practices for navigating complex conversations (25:37)Learn to delegate & let go of responsibilities (26:45)How Roblox recruits/attracts talent outside of typical hiring patterns (29:24)Claus's advice on identifying competitive advantages in order to attract talent (34:46)Why you should take measured risks while building out eng teams (36:33)How to weigh trade-offs/concessions during the start-up phase (38:57)Lean into asking “stupid” questions & aim to participate in conversations at the deepest level possible (41:33)Rapid fire questions (42:44)LINKS AND RESOURCESSkunk Works: A Personal Memoir of My Years at Lockheed - Leo Janos and Ben R. Rich's memoir detailing their nearly two decades of work in Lockheed Martin's legendary Skunk Works program.

Jim Goodall In the spring of 1968, via the US Postal Service, I formally asked Lockheed, the United States Air Force, the Department of Defense, and the Central Intelligence Agency for unclassified photos of the SR-71 on the ground or in the air. I was willing to pay the published rate for color 8x10s. I was turned down and never received any of the photos I had requested. The year 1975 was a watershed year; my dear friend, John Andrews, introduced me to an aviation character named John Lear, the son of the “Father of the Lear Jet,” William Lear. It was Through Lear that we discovered a path to the top of White Sides Mountain, 2,000 feet above our camp site location. On top of the mountain was an unobstructed panoramic view of the once very secret, Area 51. November 1988: After seeing and photographing the Lockheed Skunk Works F-117 for the first time along the fenceline at Tonopah Test Range (TTR), John Lear and I headed back to Las Vegas. We arrived at John's home about 9:15 PM, and ten minutes later a young man showed up. I had print film that needed to be processed and all of the FotoMats (way before digital photography) were closed. I wouldn't know if any of my images were any good until well into the next day. John's friend told me he had a Kodak C-41 film processor at his home. That friend was a guy named Bob Lazar. We needed to head back to John's friend's home to process some film. There in living color was the very first non-DoD, or Lockheed photo, of the first operational stealth fighter, the F-117A Senior Trend. Had the Air Force, Lockheed, DoD and the CIA honored my photo requests in 1968, I would have been happy to just move along. But, as with all things government, their unofficial “official” policy was to not cooperate; so, I started digging, the more I dug, the more I found out and the deeper I dug. I would not be where I am today, in the field of spooky programs, if our government had given me what I wanted in 1968. I would have remained happy and my name would never have been associated with Area 51, the Blackbirds, the F-117 or the Skunk Works. And, Ben R. Rich and I would never have been friends. That's how a young kid from Los Altos ended up 60+ years later being an expert on much of what has come out of the brilliant minds of the men and women at the Lockheed Martin Skunk Works. Cheers...Jim Goodall

Gregg Eberhardt graduated with a Mechanical Engineering degree and obtained a Masters in Business Degree from Marquette University. He started out as a process engineer in lean manufacturing and has also done design engineering and then moved into product management and program management. He believes you need to be a life long learner and is fired up about data analytics. You should become self aware of what your talents are, that is very important, and you need to be persistent as you will run into obstacles no matter how good you are. He is also a 3 time Iron Man Finisher! The two books Gregg recommends is the “Bible” and “Skunks Works” by Ben R.
