Elevating the Impact of Design with Eddie Ishak

Pragmatic Institute Design Chats Podcast

“Good leadership really comes down to one thing. Do people want to follow you? And you can’t force people to follow you. So if no one’s following, you’re not a leader.” – Eddie Ishak

In this episode of Design Chats, hosted by Rebecca Kalogeris, we delve into the world of design and its strategic impact.

Our special guest is Eddie Ishak, Managing Director of UX and Product Design at JP Morgan, sheds light on the essence of leadership in design and how it doesn’t necessarily correlate with one’s position in an organization.

Whether you are a seasoned designer or just starting, this episode is packed with insights and stories that will inspire you to think about design more strategically and consider the role of leadership in your career.

Eddie discusses:

  • What makes a good leader
