On this very special episode of The People Stack Podcast, Jen interviewed Tanaka Mutakwa (<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/trmutakwa/" rel="nofollow">https://www.linkedin.com/in/trmutakwa/</a>). He is VP of Engineering at Names &amp; Faces based in South Africa. He started a South African-based tech leadership community to inspire and motivate tech leaders to reach their goals through discussion and the sharing of ideas.

We talked about Tanaka’s 4 Areas of Focus of Successful Technical Leadership: People, Product, Process, &amp; Tech Stack.

During out chat, we uncovered how to balance these 4 areas as well as some of the common misconceptions new and experienced tech leaders have about managing people, building great products, dialing in process, and using the tech stack to reach goals.

You’ll want to give this one a listen right now!

Episode 215: A Crowded Market

We explore the intersection of Tech Leadership &amp; Dream careers. We do this by creating inspiring podcasts - including interviews with amazing individuals in the tech leadership space. Dr. Jen Bunk earned her Ph.D. in I/O Psychology (a.k.a. The Science of Work). She is a retired Associate Professor and an accomplished speaker &amp; researcher. As the CEO of the People Stack, she’s used her decades of experience to coach hundreds of tech leaders to create their dream careers - and the dream lives that go with them. Rob Allen (Jen’s husband) is a 20+ year software industry veteran who moved from IC to Leadership in 2010, where the focus has always been on helping the technical folks who worked for him live their best lives. In 2019, he broadened that to the tech community as a whole by joining Jen full-time at The People Stack as her Co-CEO.
