You can run a perfect dashboard and still be making bad calls. The numbers say everything's fine - but you haven't spoken to anyone close to the work in weeks.

In this solo episode, Simon unpacks the three people-shaped foundations of good leadership decisions: how you get people to care when there's no ROI line for it, why culture has to be lived rather than written on a wall, and the discipline of reconciling hard data with real anecdotes. He draws on the leader who taught him culture by example, the case against hot-desking, and the AWS rule that when data and anecdotes disagree, you dive deep.

Because in the end, technology is made of people - and so are the decisions about it.

Hosted by Simon Elisha - former AWS Chief Technologist, 35+ years in enterprise technology.
