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. How can we maximize learning to ensure we improve our weak spots and double down on our strengths?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

Not a Hamster Wheel

The Tech Exec Podcast with Aviv Ben-Yosef ·

2025/08/05

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

Manufacturing Urgency

The Tech Exec Podcast with Aviv Ben-Yosef ·

2025/06/03

So many CEOs are worried about their team lacking "urgency" and throw that word around, without realizing how to increase productivity in a manner that's effective. Too often we end up with performance hustling, where people make a show of working hard. Instead, you can create real urgency by showing how much you value everyone's time.

Too Cozy

The Tech Exec Podcast with Aviv Ben-Yosef ·

2025/05/20

Everyone celebrates long-tenured team members—but what if comfort is killing your company? Let's discuss the hidden dangers of having people who’ve been in the same seat for too long. From culture fossilization to growth stagnation, we’ll talk about how stability can become a sedative, and why fresh eyes—not old habits—are what drive real progress.

Overcompensating

The Tech Exec Podcast with Aviv Ben-Yosef ·

2025/05/13

When things aren’t going smoothly, most tech leaders don’t slow down to rethink—they speed up to fix. We overcompensate. We protect the team too much, get involved in every decision, pile on late nights, or jump in to do others’ jobs. It feels noble, but it’s actually avoidance. In this episode, I unpack the hidden damage of overcompensating leadership: how it stunts team growth, creates dependency, and feeds your own ego more than your org’s future.
