Becoming a Leader... (Part 2)

This week’s newsletter brings Part 2 of the Cyb3rSyn Labs Podcast with Ebenezer Ikonne, the author of the book, Becoming a Leader in Product Development.

In this episode, Ebenezer (Eb) dives into common misconceptions about leadership and how this can lead to frustration and inefficiencies within teams. Highlighting the importance of emotional self-regulation, humility, and curiosity, we explore the ethical dimensions of leadership and the significance of fostering a collaborative culture.

The conversation also touches on the challenges of implementing agile (most of which end up being, "agile in name only"). Additionally, we discuss the necessity of self-care for leaders.
