New Episode
Guest: David Silverman and Jessica Reif
This episode of The Idealcast features the second part of Gene Kim’s interview with Team of Teams coauthor and CrossLead CEO David Silverman and CrossLead Head of R&D Jessica Reif.
In this episode, they take up the topic of how internal marketplaces are structures that can connect mid-level leaders to each other, helping allocate scarce resources to where they're needed most, which enables the further unlocking of capacities.
They discuss challenges around the cost of change and the new skills that mid-level leaders need in order to survive and thrive in an era where being functionally excellent in one’s own silo is not enough.
They further talk about the similarities between special operations and Agile, especially comparing and contrasting terms that further concretize concepts the Agile and DevOps community have held for years but struggled to name. And finally, they discuss where we go from here.
