Imagine if your private leadership notebook — the one where you wrote what you really think about your team — suddenly became public. How surprised would they be reading it? How surprised would you be watching their reactions? In this episode, we explore the uncomfortable but essential gap between what leaders think and what they actually say. Learn why withholding honest feedback creates silent confusion, why coaching means sharing the real story early , and how radical transparency can turn things around. The uncomfortable truth: If honesty would shock your team, your leadership isn’t as strong as you think.

Product Mastery – The Tech Leader’s Force Multiplier Most tech leaders settle for “understanding the product.” But true product mastery is something else entirely. It’s the difference between being a tech "leader" and being a genuine executive. In this episode, the final one in the series, we unpack what product mastery really means, why it’s the trait that amplifies all the others, and how it lets you shape not just what gets built—but what wins. If you’ve ever felt like your team’s impact is capped by business decisions you don’t control, this is your way in.

Say It Like You Mean It: Communication for Tech Leaders In this episode, we continue our deep dive into the eight essential traits of exceptional tech leaders—this time, tackling the ever-crucial skill of communication . Too many leaders assume that because they’ve said something, they’ve communicated it. But how often have you walked away from a conversation certain you were clear, only to discover later that the other person heard something entirely different? Whether you’re speaking to your team, your peers, or your board—this is the difference between alignment and chaos.

You’re Not Coaching—You’re Just Talking at People In this next installment of the Eight Traits series, we dive into one of the most misunderstood (and underused) leadership skills: Coaching . Everyone thinks they’re coaching because they give feedback or advice. But real coaching? It’s about helping people think better, not just telling them what to do. If you want a team of independent thinkers—not task rabbits—this one’s a must. Grab my free impact coaching framework ebook .

Eight Traits: Autonomy 10:38

Most tech leaders say they value autonomy. But when it comes to actually letting go and empowering their teams? That’s where the cracks show. In this episode of the Eight Traits series, I unpack how autonomy isn’t just about giving freedom—it’s about intentional delegation, trust, and designing teams that think for themselves (without blowing things up). If you’re still the bottleneck—or if “delegation” means throwing tasks over the fence—this one’s for you.

For years, I’ve guided tech executives through a simple self-assessment of eight leadership traits—helping them pinpoint the highest-ROI areas for growth. Now, I’m bringing that process to the podcast. In this series, we’ll break down each trait, giving you a framework to assess yourself and practical ways to improve. After previously discussing vision, now we're covering translating that into action: Instilling Purpose . Vision's no good if it's locked up in your head because then you have to play the master of puppets to make it a reality. Once you master instilling purpose, you gain the genuine benefit of having an empowered team work toward the same objective. More on cultivating that in this week's episode.

When you're playing other people's games, you're following a path selected by others. You might have a better way of reaching that destination, or an entirely different one. Too often, we find ourselves playing by rules that weren’t designed for us, following paths that don’t serve us, and chasing goals we never truly chose. In this episode, I break down the power of opting out, the courage it takes to reject playing other people’s games , and how tech leaders can create careers and companies that align with what actually matters.

Innovation Safety Nets 11:29

This team was spinning its wheels for weeks—endless discussions, half-baked experiments, and no real progress. Then, they put a “safety net” in place, and within days, they made leaps they hadn’t achieved in months. What changed? And more importantly—can you do the same? Too often, teams fear taking bold steps because failure feels too costly. But with the right structures in place, they stop playing defense and start creating. In this episode, we dive into how the right guardrails can unlock innovation rather than stifle it. Tune in to learn how to cultivate a culture where risk-taking is productive, creativity flows, and your team moves forward—fast. Reserve your spot for the Coaching Upgrade #2 livestream.

🥗 Salad or Risotto? The Leadership Balancing Act 🍛 Some things can be tossed together in minutes. Others need time to develop depth and character. 💡 A salad? Chop, mix, done. Quick and fresh. 🔥 Risotto? Slow, careful stirring. Rushing ruins it. In tech leadership, knowing what needs speed and what demands patience is everything. Confuse the two, and you end up with a half-baked strategy—or worse, a burnt-out team. Reserve your spot for the Coaching Upgrade #2 livestream.
