Build Diverse Teams...or Die!
Show Notes

In this episode of Unspoken Security, AJ Nash and Errol Weiss - Chief Security Officer for the Health Information Sharing and Analysis Center (Health-ISAC) - talk about the importance of building diverse intelligence teams.  They share their insights on the evolution of program and team building over the last decade (or more) and focus on how the exponential growth of hybrid and remote work as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic has changed our world. 

Errol and AJ dig into the challenges and opportunities of building geographically dispersed teams, starting with the interview process and going on to growing and mentoring people from afar, addressing and measuring productivity, burnout, and more. Perhaps most interestingly, Errol shares his opinion on how he sees things in the tug-o'-war of remote vs return-to-office (RTO) currently unfolding across our industry.

Finally, as is customary with every episode of Unspoken Security, AJ asks Errol to share something from his career that has so far been unspoken...and it's a really interesting story you're going to want to hear!
