17 Leadership Lessons from 17 Security Leaders

Maltego Team

The Human Element Podcast was created to share the stories of security leaders who put people at the center, something our industry can always benefit from. In each episode, our CTO, Ben April, sits down with industry leaders who have faced high-stakes challenges, made decisions with incomplete data, and navigate real-world consequences.

These conversations go beyond technology to highlight the people, stories, and lessons that drive the industry forward. Whether you’re guiding a team today or preparing to step into leadership tomorrow, these conversations are designed to inspire, inform, and empower security leaders at every stage.

Today, we’re sharing an eBook that brings key insights from each episode into one place. Rather than repeating generic leadership advice, it offers practical, experience-driven guidance on making difficult decisions, leading teams under pressure, and navigating real-world crises. These lessons come from lived experience, not theory, practical insights that current and emerging leaders can adapt to strengthen their teams and build more resilient organizations.
