    ▶︎ #176 | From PhD to Director: What Academia Never Teaches You About Leading People w/ Quentin Reul (Director of AI Strategy @Expeto AI)

    In this episode of the Leman Tech Leadership Podcast, Alex welcomes Quentin Reul: Director of AI Strategy and Solutions at Expeto AI, a Belgian-born computer scientist whose one-year English adventure in the UK quietly turned into a decade - a PhD in symbolic AI, a front-row seat to the academic-to-enterprise transition, and eventually a leadership path built through teams of data scientists, software engineers, knowledge engineers, and QA specialists spread across continents.

    The conversation opens with one of the most underexplored tensions in tech: what actually breaks when you move from academic research culture into enterprise delivery. Quentin is precise about it - it is not about intelligence or even drive. It is the completion mindset. Academia rewards the idea, the paper, the demonstrable prototype. Enterprise rewards the shipped thing, the SOC-compliant thing, the thing a customer can buy tomorrow. The gap between those two modes is where a lot of technically brilliant people quietly stall - and where Quentin has spent years learning to bridge it.

    If you came up through a technical or research background and are now leading - or thinking about leading - people for the first time, this one will land.

    #175 | Tech Leadership Q&A: Why Does the Same Feedback Land for One Person and Wreck Another?

    ▶︎ #175 | Tech Leadership Q&A: Why Does the Same Feedback Land for One Person and Wreck Another?

    In this solo episode of the Leman Tech Leadership Podcast, host Aleksandra Lemańska continues her Q&A series by tackling two questions that go hand in hand: "Why does the same piece of feedback land fine with one person and wreck another?" and "Is it normal to dread one-on-ones with certain people?"

    Alex's answer centers on communication intelligence, or CQ - the core of her CQ Leadership Method, built tightly to the Process Communication Model. Feedback that doesn't land usually isn't tailored to the person receiving it; it's tailored to how the leader prefers to give and receive feedback. Since there are six personality bases, defaulting to your own style means you are statistically only speaking the language that one out of six people actually needs.

    She lays out a practical starting point: map your team. List everyone you lead, make a hypothesis about each person's personality base, and note the keywords and communication channels they respond to. Then pick one person and one small adjustment - a different question, a different channel - and test it for a week. This is what builds the CQ muscle: awareness, hypothesis, reps.

    ▶︎ #174 | A-Players, Task Monkeys, and the AI Reckoning w/ Francis Brero (VP AI Strategy @HG Insights)

    In this episode of the Leman Tech Leadership Podcast, Alex welcomes Francis Brero: VP of AI Strategy at HG Insights and Co-Founder of MadKudu, a French-born engineer who swapped the grandes ecoles of Paris for Silicon Valley and has spent 15 years building AI-powered systems for some of the world’s leading B2B revenue organizations. Francis brings a mathematician’s rigour and a founder’s scar tissue to every conversation about teams - and this one is no exception.


    What drives this episode is Francis’s deceptively simple framework for mapping any team: the task monkey who executes, the problem-solver who adapts, the system thinker who diagnoses root causes, and the rock star who spots the problem before anyone else named it. The conversation moves fast from there - to the hidden cost of keeping “okay” players on the roster, why brilliant jerks are rarely as indispensable as they think, and why the bar for what counts as a rock star has shifted dramatically with AI.

    If you are managing a team right now and quietly wondering whether you have the right people in the right seats - or whether you yourself are operating above or below the system-thinker line - this episode will give you a sharper lens.
