And I think it's our job, really, as leaders, and especially here in our organisation. It’s to create that environment so that people can thrive.” - Steve Satterwhite 2. “Here’s a stupid analogy, but I like to use it because it's how I think about the business. It's really just to simplify it. Let's say that you're a new airline, or you have a new airline route that you want to go from Houston to Paris, and you're short of pilots to fly the big Dreamliner or the big Airbus from here to there. It's a different operation. So what we do is we go look for people that have been flying 737s most of their career. They're deeply passionate about flying, and they're really good at it, and all we need to do is just kind of upskill them in a short period of time just to fly a different airplane. It's still piloting, it’s still flying. That's what we do. So if you think about just the evolution of technology and the things that we're doing, all we're doing, constantly, at Entelligence is just upskilling people in the shortest possible time.” - Steve Satterwhite Mentioned in this episode: ISF Analyst Insight Podcast Read the transcript of this episode Subscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts Connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter From the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.
