- Technology
It’s said that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, but under the proper management – management with a keen eye towards investing in its own people – there is no such thing as a weak link, only an opportunity for growth.
In this episode, Microsoft CISO Bret Arsenault talks with Geoff Belknap, colleague and fellow CISO at LinkedIn, about what it means to build a team, not of experts, but of intrepid thinkers willing to learn something new and invest in themselves to grow.
In This Episode You Will Learn:
Why investing in people without a ‘necessary’ skill can be more beneficial than hiring someone who checks all the boxes Why focusing on yourself, in whatever way that manifests, is so crucial to a successful team How security is fundamentally an interdisciplinary field
Some Questions We Ask:
How do we solve the gender gap in the industry? What are some of the things Geoff has learned over the past year? How do you promote employees and team members investing in themselves?
