In this episode of the Product Artisan Podcast, we had Sam who is a Silicon Valley veteran of 20 years, Founder of Startup Patterns which helps technology organizations, from startups to enterprise, develop better technology leader and have worked with companies like Adobe, Unilever, Proctor and Gamble, etc.
We dove deep into the tectonic shifts happening in the tech landscape including the advent of Generative AI, massive tech layoffs, SVB collapse as well as critically examining the role of tech leadership including product leadership lately. The conversation takes a closer look at the contrasting leadership styles in the tech industry, the rise of cooperatives as alternative organisational structures, fostering accountability while promoting organisational autonomy. Holding senior leaders accountable is a critical aspect of creating positive change with a powerful emphasis on the role of purpose, values, and principles in guiding them.
Tune in to this enlightening episode as we uncover the need for purpose-driven leadership in tech, explore the potential of alternative organizational structures, and unlock the transformative power of aligning actions with values and principles.
