Don't you hate those awkward work conversations that are full of tension and opposing opinions? Often, they're just swept under the rug with no fix. But imagine it was something that you were trained and taught to handle at work. The art of crucial conversations. Ed Wilson is the former Senior Enterprise Architect at Southwest Airlines and he shares how to turn UNHEALTHY conflict into CONSTRUCTIVE conflict. What a game changer when it can be addressed quickly and openly. This should be taught in schools! Imagine how that would elevate our society from doubling down on our differences to embracing our differences. What advice do you have for addressing conflict? --------------------------- Thank you to our partners at Tech CxO LaunchPad and Karen Bruno for introducing me to Ed Wilson.

Here's a debate for Sunday. I was talking to a VERY close friend about how I am building C4E and how I am VERY big on culture. I said I am ok to miss revenue opportunities if they come in the way of building culture. He is VERY big on revenue. And he said you can NOT build culture with empty pockets. He said focus on revenue and once you have some stability and runway, you can aim to work on culture. I think he's wrong. He thinks I am wrong. What do you think? What side are you on? What do you index on? What do you drive in your org? I promise to compile the best answers in a long blog post! PS: Random image from Google Search for algo :)

Not so long ago I shared how I “did nothing” in my first 30 days as CEO (spoiler alert, I didn’t literally mean nothing!). It’s time to zoom out. Here’s what the first 120 days looked like. > Right-sized leadership to focus headcount on front-end > Focussed efforts on streamlining tech (taking out tech for the first time ever) > Grew average sales per employee by 20% > Reduced third-party services and transportation spend by 80% The priority has been creating a robust customer pipeline. I talk a lot about people vs tech. Don’t get it twisted, tech is vital to innovation and progress. You need the right people and the right tech - one doesn’t succeed without the other. But, you have to cement your teams first - get the right people for the right roles, align objectives, and set CLEAR goals. Once you have high-performance teams, you can implement tech to accelerate their work. Cutting corners never works. Especially when tech is involved - it just complicates an already failing process. Learn from your observations, strip back all unnecessary components, and rebuild. As I’ve already mentioned, those first 30 days of observation, gave me everything I needed to take action fast and with certainty. This meant by day 120, we’ve got the results to show for it.

As you go through various stages of your career, you’ll start to realize how much uncertainty there is in the world. It’s a pretty universal truth that once you get the job you thought you wanted, the enjoyment eventually fades and you find yourself looking for something else. Fournier, Camille. The Manager's Path: A Guide for Tech Leaders Navigating Growth and Change (pp. 7-8).

When I speak with public company CEOs or other leaders, I hear most of them some version of this 👇 “We are only 3-4% done”. Some say 10%, but you get the point. They are all running multi billions or at least a few 100M in revenues, but they all believe they are just getting started. Jeff Bezos famously said about Day 1 at Amazon. Everyday was Day 1. Anu Bharadwaj talks about Atlassian after 100 years. They take decisions based on the super long term view and have been successful in cultivating that culture inside the company by messaging and actions. One thing I have noticed when I ran multiple companies is - horizons open wider as you spend more time problem and market. You will see farther. First time founders see months, then in about 2 years, start to see an year or two and then 3 years and so on. Today when I look at Docket, I can probably see 3 years with high clarity and the North Star 💫 that I want to reach to. It’s incredibly inspiring to hear the leaders of the biggest companies taking an infinite timeline and pushing a bit, everyday. If they think they are 3% done, where are we? You and I have the opportunity to wake up and do the work of our lives. Let’s do it! “Miles to go before I sleep, miles to go before I sleep” PS: I’m writing this from a red eye flight taking me from SFO to DC after a 4 day super hectic trip with average 5 hour sleep and a ton of meetings/travel. (Context helps) 😊

💡 Jeff Bezos: "All overnight success takes about 10 years." 💡 In a world where notifications interrupt your team every 5 or 10 seconds, how can you create the best environment for your team to dream up the next big vision? 🌐💭 Here's Tristan Harris, a former ethicist at Google and now at the Center for Humane Technology, talking about what we are all dealing with: "As attention gets more competitive, we have to crawl deeper down the brainstem to your identity and get you addicted." 📱🧠 In a “normal working environment,” our attention is fragmented with micro-demands to optimize our calendars, reply to Slack, or follow up with a DM. 📅🔄 Part of our mission at WorkTripp is to create the space for teams to think more holistically in order to solve the world’s most complex challenges. 🌍🧩 **How are we going to steer this company through the next 5 years? 🚀 **How might we wildly innovate in ways that dream up new value? 💡 **How can we create new revenue models which future-proof us? 💰 **How can we re-create our business to respond to the climate emergency and create a company that employees want to work hard for? 🌱💚 There's a reason why the most successful teams build offsites into their cycle of work. 🚶♂️💬 It's essential in this hyper-distracting world to create opportunities for deep, focused thinking amidst the power-hose of micro-tasks and notifications. 🌊✨ Picture: Spotted 👀, Sally Page and I, getting out from under our emails. #CreativeLeadership #HybridLeadership #RegenerativeLeadership

Driving productivity and retention in clean energy 🌿 | HR and Organizational Development strategist | Let's connect🔥
"Being CEO has taught me this—that two things perhaps matter the most: having a very clear sense of purpose...and having a culture that allows you to go after that mission." Microsoft, CEO Satya Nadella The culture enables the strategy. Yet, far too many companies don't intentionally craft their culture. To reclaim control over your culture, these are your foundational building blocks: - Declare your company vision. Consider this your *why.* - Get people excited about your mission. This is the current mountain you are climbing and a great way to get your employees excited about *what* you're working towards. - Define your values. 3-8 is a good a number and these are your *how.* How you get work done, how you treat each other, how to navigate the company. - Strategic plan and goals. Be specific and make sure these point in the direction you want employees operating in. What other aspects have helped you strengthen your company culture? #culture #companyculture #values #mission #vision
