107 podcasts ago (just a little over two years ago) on SPAMCAST 601 I interviewed Brian Weaver of Torch.AI about leadership. Lots of things have happened since then, a pandemic, Europe in flames again and Torch.AI thriving. It was great to touch base with Brian to talk about how his perspective as a leader has changed. While not needed for this interview, I highly recommend listening to SPaMCAST 601 either before or after.

SPaMCAST 704 – Leadership and Diving For Golf Balls, A Conversation With Stuart Leo
Posted by tcagley under Leadership | Tags: Leo |Leave a Comment
In the Software Process and Measurement Cast 704, we talk leadership with Stuart Leo Founder & CEO of Waymaker.io. One of the reasons I enjoy interviews is that I often stumble across great stories. Stuart’s entrepreneurial origin story includes golf balls, icy Tasmanian lakes, and scuba divers — I will remember this story until I die.
Stuart is a global thinker in strategy, systems, and leadership development. As the founder of Waymaker.io he has led the creation of Waymaker’s Leadership Curve – a revolutionary way of building clarity, alignment, and remarkable results for any organization.

We also have a visit from Susan Parente who brings her I’m Not A Scrumdamentalist column to the cast. This month we talk about getting leadership right. It is possible!
