Putting people in the right positions: On leading innovative teams

Leading a team of creatives who get to build exciting new technology might be one of the coolest jobs out there. This week on Catalyst, Tammy sits down with Scott Campagna, Senior Director of Emerging and Immersive Technology at Launch. Scott shares his nontraditional path that started out in financial advising and how that morphed into a career in technology.

Scott and Tammy discuss:

• Why the key to leading a team of highly creative, forward thinkers lies in positioning and motivation.
• How to build psychological security and create a safe space for new ideas and experimentation.
• Augmented Reality and the emerging tech that Scott is most excited about right now.

"The first thing that I did when I started leading large teams was read a lot, because I knew enough to know that I didn't have all the skills yet. I knew I could learn them, I could do that, but I didn't have them yet. So, I figured out what I needed to do to get there."
