How to Create a Leadership Culture - #301
Show notes
Most CISOs spend years learning cybersecurity.
Almost nobody teaches them how to build a culture people actually want to be part of.
In this episode of CISO Tradecraft, G. Mark Hardy and Ross Young break down the leadership lessons that separate average security organizations from world-class ones.
You’ll learn how to:
- Build a security team people WANT to join
- Develop your employees into future CISOs
- Reward behavior that actually changes culture
- Communicate like an executive
- Spot when your company may NEVER promote you to CISO
- Prevent burnout before your best people leave
- Build trust across the business
- Create a culture of excellence, accountability, and curiosity
Ross also shares how he turned phishing awareness into a company competition, complete with trophies, CEO recognition, and brisket parties.
Because great cybersecurity leadership isn't just about stopping hackers.
It's about building an organization where great people can do their best work.
- What’s the ONE leadership rule every CISO should follow?
