Episode Synopsis

The tech leaders of today greatly differ from the tech leaders of yesterday – from their scope of work to their mindset, skills, and approach – a lot of things have changed. Basically, what changed was the answer to the question “What does it mean to be a leader?” - and with me here on this episode to help answer that question is David Germain, Group Chief Information Officer, who sat down with me to talk about all things leadership – from his journey through the world of tech, through his approach and perspective, all the way to his insight and experience worth their weight in gold.

Key takeaways from the podcast are:

- The importance of not letting stereotypes hold you back from achieving your dreams

- Never take your eye away from the big picture

- As a leader, your skillset must be diverse if you’re to drive people forward
