In this episode, hosts Anthony Piccolo and Dr. Chi-Chi Anyanwu sit down with Itari Ighoroje, Chief Architect at Rackspace, to explore the messy—and necessary—intersection between human behavior and leadership in tech.
From building trust and navigating cultural fit, to making strategic decisions and leading distributed global teams, this conversation pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to lead people—not just projects.
You’ll hear honest stories, practical strategies, and plenty of laughs as we unpack:
- Why trust must be given before it’s earned
- The difference between managing tasks and leading people
- How to balance results with humanity
- Why “embracing the fuzz” might be your greatest leadership advantage
This isn’t a talk about leadership theory. It’s real stories from the field, the codebase, and the conference room—where clarity, communication, and trust collide.
