Good news is bad news delivered early, with Tech Exec Brett Wiskar
No one likes bad news, but as a leader, it’s your responsibility to get ahead of it. When Brett Wiskar said during our interview, “Good news is bad news delivered early,” it really resonated. Surprises are rarely welcome, and as leaders, it’s our job not only to manage them but to stay ahead of them.
In this candid episode, I chat with Brett, a seasoned tech executive, about his rollercoaster leadership journey. Tune in to hear three impactful leadership lessons that have reshaped his approach—and could very well change yours too.
I’m saving the lightbulb moments for the episode, but here’s a glimpse of what Brett unpacks:
- The crucial leadership skill most avoid (yes, it involves those uncomfortable conversations).
- Why adaptability is more valuable than being right.
- How to align your team for success.
Beyond the lessons, this episode offers a rare inside look at the life of an executive—his day-to-day challenges, the tough decisions, and what it truly takes to lead at the top. Add the podcast to your listen list to deep dive into the real-world experiences of a leader navigating change and innovation.
