However , he also sees the bigger picture and the compliance accountability required to make decisions that affect the use and control of data mindfully .
A leader focused on collaboration and respectful challenge to drive tech change Mamone ' s leadership style is that of the ' Participative Leader ', meaning he recognises the value in working together to reach decisions on solutions , ensuring he has the right team supporting him with the best collective capability . Mamone uses respectful challenge to encourage a sense of healthy and empowering debate within his team whenever he can . He is a firm believer that successful leadership comes from autonomy , and Mamone feels his role lies in effectively mentoring his team , providing the guide rails for them to make the right decisions , and becomes autocratic only when necessary .
