I had a lot of fun being interviewed by Aimee Vincent-Bunn who hosts the fabulous Women in STEM podcast.

I’ve been a “leader-of-leaders” for a long time. It’s changed post-covid. But when I talk to some Engineers about the difference between “Leader of Others” and “Leader of Leaders” they don’t know what I’m talking about. So I thought I’d blog about it, and maybe even learn more myself.

A friend was telling me about “Dream Teams” at Netflix and I realized that is exactly what I have been trying to build/encourage around me. That is what I want!

I had a lot of fun being interviewed by James Holder for the Software Synergy Podcast. You can listen on Spotify or Apple.
