Ep.212: Bridging the Gap; Technology, Business & Leadership Lessons from Helping 65+ Startups, with Tetiana Kobzar | Leadership Podcasts What are the key challenges in balancing technology, business, and people in leadership? One of the concepts that comes up a lot is this idea of a leader as a translator, speaking the 'language' of various stakeholders/teams, and facilitating understanding between them. For example, bridging the gap between cool technology and a viable commercial case. This week's guest is Tanya Kobzar, who has some insightful thoughts on this, having founded a tech company herself as well as worked with over 65 startups. Tanya shares her journey from software developer to entrepreneur, we discuss the importance of a supportive team environment, the meaning and significance of human-centered design, the challenges of balancing technology with business needs.
