In this episode of Tools for Tech Leaders, Ian sits down with Oscar, Emmy, and Peabody-winning filmmaker Bill Guttentag to explore the art of drawing out meaningful stories and insights from leaders. Bill shares his experience conducting compelling interviews, sharing techniques to help create the right environment to ask questions that reveal genuine, illustrative moments. They discuss how his work interviewing leaders for Stanford Business School and his documentary filmmaking inform each other, and examine techniques for helping people share their wisdom in authentic ways. Bill offers practical guidance on preparation, building trust, and creating space for vulnerability. His insights on Silicon Valley and Hollywood's converging but distinct cultures also illuminate how different leadership styles can thrive across industries. Whether you're looking to improve how you conduct interviews, lead discussions, or create environments where people can do their best work, this conversation offers valuable tools for your interviewing and leadership toolkit.
