Anecdote Machine

The Tech Exec Podcast with Aviv Ben-Yosef ·

2025/10/21

Understanding the natural thought patterns of your CEO will help you communicate effectively and create trust rather than lose it. One such aspect is the "anecdote machine" thinking. With few data points, extrapolation roams free, and it often misses. More in this week's episode!Please fill out this single-question poll about the Rome Sessions.

2025/10/14

The ingenious use of paper towels to unlock business value and how that connects to your team's autonomy and agency.

Excuse Rapidfire

The Tech Exec Podcast with Aviv Ben-Yosef ·

2025/10/07

Just because it comes to you so easily, it doesn't mean you should allow that behavior to guide your thinking. Yes, coming up with reasons why something won't work is easy and might feel like you're demonstrating your smarts. Still, in this week's episode, I discuss flipping that thinking around.Grab a copy of my books, Capitalizing Your Technology and The Tech Executive Operating System.Subscribe to the best newsletter for tech executives.For any questions or comments, reach out to me

Single Stepping

The Tech Exec Podcast with Aviv Ben-Yosef ·

2025/09/30

Single stepping might be a good way to debug some gnarly code, but it won't cut it as a leadership practice. Without learning how to step back and look at things at a grander scale, you're bound to think too "small."

Getting Risky

The Tech Exec Podcast with Aviv Ben-Yosef ·

2025/09/02

Risks are unavoidable in our day-to-day work. Yet many of us need some "calibration" of our treatment of risks. Many tech-oriented people have a risk appetite that differs from the company's, resulting in missed opportunities and a slower pace. Let's help you address that in this week's episode.Check out Unplugged with Aviv.Grab a copy of my books, Capitalizing Your Technology and The Tech Executive Operating System.Subscribe to the best newsletter for tech executives.For any questions or

Caffellatte

The Tech Exec Podcast with Aviv Ben-Yosef ·

2025/08/26

For more than a week, I kept saying the exact same thing at the same caffé in Rome, and we got a different drink almost every time. Communication is weird. Words are vague. Realizing that is essential to become an effective leader.

Fear

The Tech Exec Podcast with Aviv Ben-Yosef ·

2025/08/19

Fear has two opposite ways of harming how you lead—do you freeze or do you roll over? Either way, fear-driven leadership is not really leadership. You can short-circuit fear's control of your behavior with these three steps.

When we see things with a fresh set of eyes, we can notice many things others around us have gotten used to. Be it if you're standing in front of cheeses you've never heard of before in an Italian supermarket or when you joined a new team.

Not a Hamster Wheel

The Tech Exec Podcast with Aviv Ben-Yosef ·

2025/08/05

If your internal conversations are all about your struggles and obstacles, and you always skip over the actual progress you've made, you will inevitably generate self-inflicted burnout sooner or later.

Thinking Too Big

The Tech Exec Podcast with Aviv Ben-Yosef ·

2025/07/29

You should be thinking ahead, but don't confuse that with useless busywork that doesn't actually matter. We do it because we're anxious, because we want to do *something*, or because we wrongly mistake that for leadership. But if there's no diff, it doesn't matter—or even worse.Check out Unplugged with Aviv.Grab a copy of my books, Capitalizing Your Technology and The Tech Executive Operating System.Subscribe to the best newsletter for tech executives.For any questions or comments, reach

Start from Scratch

The Tech Exec Podcast with Aviv Ben-Yosef ·

2025/07/22

We moved to Rome and are essentially starting the house from scratch. It's tough, but also liberating. When we're only limiting ourselves to incremental thinking, we might get stuck in a local maximum. Without liberating ourselves from current constraints, making substantial progress can be nearly impossible.

Scheduled Maintenance

The Tech Exec Podcast with Aviv Ben-Yosef ·

2025/07/08

There are things that you can just put aside and not think about them until you have to. And then there are areas where you can save a lot of effort by ensuring regular maintenance. That's the difference between having to overwhelm your org with the equivalent of WD40 in a rush, and having the ability to handle a situation you knew would come with an already laid out plan.

Diet… Next Week

The Tech Exec Podcast with Aviv Ben-Yosef ·

2025/07/01

You definitely shouldn't be too hard on yourself, and any particular failure shouldn't rattle you too much. Yet, it is dangerous to get so accustomed to failures and cutting yourself slack that you never start taking action. Rather than keep pushing that diet off by a week, how about committing to some baby steps in the right direction right now?

Vetting

The Tech Exec Podcast with Aviv Ben-Yosef ·

2025/06/24

Whenever you're hiring someone, you realize that titles don't mean the same for everyone. It's not enough to have a reference call where they say someone was a "good senior engineer" and be satisfied, nor can you just interview for a "CTO" position without understanding what CTO even means in the company.

Show the Proof

The Tech Exec Podcast with Aviv Ben-Yosef ·

2025/06/17

Somewhat annoyingly, my usual reply when someone tells me they have a certain issue is to ask for real examples. You'd be surprised to see how often people are overly critical of themselves, or obsess over issues long resolved. In today's podcast episode, we talk about learning to shortcircuit a lot of internal criticism, so you only bother with what actually matters.Unplugged with Aviv.Grab a copy of my books, Capitalizing Your Technology and The Tech Executive Operating System.Subscribe

Dissonance

The Tech Exec Podcast with Aviv Ben-Yosef ·

2025/06/10

Cognitive dissonance is sometimes a must, because not everything can be clearly decided one way or another. Nevertheless, while you might be aware of the dissonance, as it gets spread in your organization it usually translates into confusion and misalignment. In this episode, we discuss how you'll avoid dissonance to create a more autonomous team around you.Check out Unplugged with Aviv.Grab a copy of my books, Capitalizing Your Technology and The Tech Executive Operating System.Subscribe
