The Leadership of Technical Maestros

This is a bonus episode discussing the leadership of technical maestros. This completely unplanned episode was recorded during a break when Ron began discussing General Motors, and then touched on some fundamental topics on how generative cultures are led by technical maestros. We then move to talking about how cultures are created during the ‘becoming’ phase, but often move into a bureaucratic culture. While unplanned, we found this conversation to be both interesting and highly valuable.
