CTO Confessions Brought to you by IT Labs

Building, creating, developing – these are all activities all tech leaders simply love. And as leaders, they are skilled at nurturing the flames of others – the flames to build, create, develop, analyze, or simply put, to follow their drive towards creating a better tomorrow. I had the chance to have a good talk with one such leader – Jamie Smith Webb, CTO at Numan, who shared with me his journey to becoming a tech leader, his experience in various industries, and his incredible insights he’s amassed from working with a variety of teams. Key takeaways from the podcast are: - Composing your team is a matter of adaptibility and proper leadership, especially when they are diverse in nature - Knowing how and when to ask for help will help you grow, but also establish relationships - Setting expectations - understanding and aligning expectations is crucial for effective leadership on all levels Our Guest: Jamie Smith Webb LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamiesmithwebb/ Website: https://www.numan.com/ Intro and background music: Craig MacArthur - Power Shutoff (www.youtube.com/watch?v=x74iB_jtauw)
