Previously On: Rebooting Leadership in Tech: Prevent Burnout & Build Human-Centered Teams

Описание: Previously on…
In our January conversation, Lisa Duerre challenged us to rethink confidence, credibility, and what it truly means to lead. From navigating self-doubt to owning your voice, Lisa reminded us that leadership starts with self-belief—not permission.

Burnout is no longer an individual problem — it’s a leadership challenge.

In this episode of Bytes and Banter, we’re joined by Lisa Duerre, CEO & Co-Founder of RLD Group, to explore what it truly means to reboot leadership in today’s tech-driven world.

After spending more than 20 years as a senior executive in Silicon Valley, Lisa experienced severe burnout — a turning point that led her to co-found RLD Group and champion strengths-based, human-centered leadership.

In this conversation, we discuss:

Why burnout is a systemic leadership issue, not a personal failure
How strengths-based leadership transforms culture and performance
Creating psychological safety and aligning values with business outcomes
Reframing rest, gratitude, and resilience as strategic advantages
What it means to become an “antidote firm” in today’s workplace

Lisa also opens up about her personal journey living with Lipedema, a chronic and often misunderstood condition affecting as many as 1 in 11 women. She shares why raising awareness matters, how invisible health challenges show up at work, and why empathy and flexibility are essential leadership skills.

Lisa is also the host of the top-rated podcast Ctrl+Alt+Delete with Lisa Duerre, where she continues no-nonsense conversations on leadership, burnout prevention, and thriving in tech.

If you’re a tech leader, people manager, or emerging professional navigating pressure, pace, and purpose — this episode offers insight, validation, and practical strategies.
