Building exceptional boards of directors in growth stage technology businesse...Dave Litwiller
This document discusses building an effective board of directors for growth stage technology companies. It outlines three key aspects:
1) Choosing the right people for the board who are voracious learners, prepared, dedicate sufficient time, are competitively driven but balanced, optimistic yet skeptical, and tolerant of risk.
2) Advancing and renewing the board over time by developing a pipeline of talent, balancing CEO and outside director nominations, avoiding path dependency, conducting thorough reference checks, and finding independent thinkers.
3) Identifying underperforming directors who are sycophants, narrow-minded, unprepared, or have strong biases that hinder their effectiveness. Maintaining a high-performing
This document discusses leadership, including definitions of leadership, qualities of great leaders, common leadership styles, the role of team leaders, situational leadership, how to be a great leader, and body language for leaders. It defines leadership as "a process whereby an individual influences a group of individuals to achieve a common goal." It also outlines the most common leadership styles such as autocratic, bureaucratic, charismatic, democratic, laissez-faire, people-oriented, task-oriented, transactional, and transformational.
This document outlines developing a leadership strategy, which is critical for organizational success. It defines what a leadership strategy is and provides steps to create one. A leadership strategy considers the quantity and qualities of leaders needed, their skills and behaviors, collective capabilities, and leadership culture. It is created by analyzing a business strategy to identify key drivers and their implications for leadership. Data is collected on the current leadership situation and compared to the desired future to develop the leadership strategy and subsequent leadership development strategy.
This document discusses leadership development and getting things done. It begins by noting the challenges of leadership in 2017, including fear of the future, fragmentation of cultural reference points, and the matrix paradox of wanting more information but easier solutions. It then discusses trends impacting the future like technology, urbanization, and demographics. Key aspects of leadership discussed include having an innovation mindset, getting things done, and working with others. The document emphasizes that great leaders are continuously learning and able to communicate a narrative. It also discusses the importance of collaboration for regional success and offers tips for creating and leading successful regional collaborations.
The document describes a group of workers clearing a road through dense jungle to reach the coast. The leaders organized the workers efficiently and monitored progress, which was excellent. However, one day someone climbed a tree and shouted "Wrong way!" questioning if they were doing the right thing.
It then discusses that management focuses on doing things efficiently while leadership ensures the correct goals and vision. Different leadership styles like autocratic and democratic are also examined in how they influence decision making and motivation.
The key highlight is that while the workers were efficiently clearing the jungle, someone realized they may have been focusing on the wrong objective or path, bringing into question if effective management was ensuring the right leadership and goals were in place.

The document discusses competency based leadership development. It states that 85% of common skills for effective management are known, and that the skills needed to do a job are mostly consistent. It also discusses that adults learn from experience, and some people learn better from experience than others. The document advocates for organizations to have best practices and systems to effectively develop current and future leaders.
1. According to a study, leaders learned more about leadership from real work and life experiences than from formal leadership programs like MBAs, which helped them become more technically competent but did little to teach fundamental lessons or how to learn from experiences.
2. An experience-based approach to leadership development knits together on-the-job experience, life experience, and specific skill development, rather than a smorgasbord of unrelated classes.
3. This experience-based method can be adapted to people at all career stages and an organization's changing needs in complex environments.
Managers achieve organizational goals through directing the activities of others. The key managerial activities include making decisions, allocating resources, and directing others. Managers work in organizations, which are social units composed of multiple people working together to achieve common goals. The main management functions that enable managers to direct organizations are planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. Planning involves defining goals, strategies, and coordinating activities. Organizing determines tasks, reporting relationships, and how work is grouped. Leading provides vision, motivation, and conflict resolution. Controlling monitors activities to ensure goals are met.

This document outlines lecture notes on organizational development (OD) by Dr. Virgel C. Binghay. It defines OD as a contractual relationship between a change agent and sponsoring organization to use behavioral science and improve organizational performance. It discusses key aspects of OD including the change agent, sponsoring organization, applied behavioral science, systems context, and improved organizational performance. The notes also cover understanding organizations, modern developments in OD, and action research approaches.
The document discusses the differences between leadership and management. While the terms are often used interchangeably, they describe different concepts. Leadership involves focusing and motivating a group to achieve goals, while management focuses on administrative tasks like planning, staffing, and controlling. Good leaders gain loyalty from their group by taking responsibility and celebrating achievements. They motivate through passion and vision rather than controlling others.
This chapter discusses various applied motivation practices in the workplace. It covers how financial rewards can affect employee needs and motivation. It then describes the four main types of rewards - membership, job status, competency and performance based. Specific performance based rewards like gainsharing plans, ESOPs and profit sharing are outlined. The chapter also discusses job design and how to enrich jobs through strategies like empowerment, natural work units and client relationships. Self-leadership is introduced as a way employees can influence their own motivation through goal setting, positive self-talk and mental imagery. The next chapter will cover stress in the workplace.
The document summarizes research from the Center for Creative Leadership on the common challenges faced by middle to senior level leaders across seven different countries. Through interviews with 763 leaders, they identified six challenges that were consistently among the top challenges in each country: 1) Developing managerial effectiveness 2) Inspiring others 3) Developing employees 4) Leading a team 5) Guiding change 6) Managing internal stakeholders and politics. The document suggests these six challenges are inherent to being a leader regardless of country or industry context. It recommends leadership development initiatives be designed to help leaders overcome these common challenges through both formal training and more informal social learning.
This chapter discusses leadership styles and theories. It defines leadership as influencing others to achieve objectives. There are several perspectives on leadership, including competency, behavior, contingency, and transformational. Contingency theories like path-goal and Fiedler's model suggest the best leadership style depends on situational factors. Transformational leadership involves creating and communicating a vision to build commitment, while transactional leadership focuses on rewarding performance. The chapter also examines gender differences in leadership and debates about the importance of leadership.
The document provides an overview of a 4-day workshop aimed at developing high performance teams. The workshop uses an interactive simulation over 3 days to allow participants to experience the dynamics of working in a project team. It covers key skills needed for high performance teams like effective communication, decision-making, and leadership. The intended outcomes include improving team performance and understanding the factors that contribute to project and business success.

The document discusses what makes a great manager. It outlines that managers provide crucial organization and ensure their teams perform optimally. However, many "green" managers are put into roles without proper training. Good managers are described as having characteristics like being detail-oriented, having strong problem-solving and communication skills, and being able to organize effectively. While initiative and drive can help one advance, managing people requires different skills than self-management. The document also discusses the differences between managing and leading, and identifies some common management mistakes to avoid, such as not delegating, managing by fear, being overly friendly, and not implementing proper systems or training teams.

Communicative language teaching (CLT) emerged in the 1960s-1970s as a response to structural and audiolingual methods, focusing on developing learners' communicative competence through meaningful tasks and activities; it is based on theories that language learning involves grammatical, sociolinguistic, discourse and strategic competence. CLT advocates for using language tasks and activities that involve real communication between learners to promote language learning.
This document discusses Communicative Language Teaching (CLT), an approach that emphasizes using the target language for meaningful communication. It focuses on functions of language, provides opportunities for students to negotiate meaning, and engages students in role-plays, dialogues, and other interactive activities. While CLT had early successes, it was later criticized for excluding grammar instruction and failing to develop student accuracy. The approach also faced issues with cultural adaptation and commercialization. The document concludes by discussing communicative approaches as an evolution of CLT that balances functional language use with different classroom techniques.

It also outlines components of educational management systems like the leadership framework and its principles of leading people, oneself, and the organization.
Leaders inspire others through communicating a compelling vision of the future and challenging employees to achieve organizational goals, whereas managers use procedures and incentives to push employees towards goals. Effective leaders have traits like a positive outlook, integrity, and decisiveness. A new collaborative leadership style is gaining popularity where everyone works together and shares leadership roles instead of a traditional top-down approach.
This document provides information on leadership, including definitions of leadership, characteristics of good leaders, and key aspects of effective leadership. Some key points:
- Leadership is defined as guiding and influencing others to accomplish goals.
- Level 5 leadership involves creating more leaders, being "WE-centric" rather than "I-centric", having ferocious resolve, and channeling ambition into the company rather than oneself.
- The 3 elements of great leadership are support, respect, and trust.
- Key aspects of everyday leadership include talent management, communication, problem solving, and culture building.
- Vision and direction, communication, talent development, and prioritization are discussed as important leadership responsibilities.

The document outlines specific behaviors organizations want to motivate, like performance and citizenship. It also discusses how to stimulate motivation, such as through goal-setting, meeting needs, responsibility, trust, and fostering self-motivation.

Building a Performance-Based Culture [webinar 01.10.13]BizLibrary
The document discusses characteristics of high performing organizations based on a presentation from Chris Osborn and Jessica Batz of BizLibrary. It identifies several common factors among high performing organizations and teams, including clear strategies aligned with performance measures, a strong customer focus, effective leadership, well-defined processes and structures, and an empowering culture defined by values like innovation and commitment.
This document discusses employee engagement and distributed leadership. It emphasizes that leadership development should focus on improving employees rather than just the leader. Distributed leadership relies on dialogue between levels, shared purpose, and empowering employees. Engagement increases when employees feel involved, recognize the company's purpose, and have opportunities to learn and grow professionally. Effective communication must be continuous, compelling and credible to influence employees.
This document outlines the essentials of leadership. It defines leadership as the ability to influence and guide others towards a clear vision. Effective leadership involves establishing a vision, sharing that vision, providing knowledge to achieve it, and balancing interests. Business leadership requires motivating employees, delegating tasks based on strengths, and having courageous conversations. The document then lists and describes eight qualities of great leadership: sincerity, integrity, communication skills, loyalty, decisiveness, competence, empowerment, and charisma. It provides examples from leaders like MS Dhoni and quotes on leadership.

Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument
Instructions for completing the Organizational Culture
Assessment Instrument (OCAI).
The purpose of the OCAI is to assess six key dimensions of organizational
culture. In completing the instrument, you will be providing a picture of how
your organization operates and the values that characterize it. No right or
wrong answers exist for these questions just as there is not right or wrong
culture. Every organization will most likely produce a different set of responses.
Therefore, be as accurate as you can in responding to the questions so that
your resulting cultural diagnosis will be as precise as possible.
You are asked to rate your organization in the questions. To determine which
organization to rate, you will want to consider the organization that is managed
by your boss, the strategic business unit to which you belong, or the
organizational unit in which you are a member that has clearly identifiable
boundaries. Because the instrument is most helpful for determining ways to
change the culture, you’ll want to focus on the cultural unit that is the target for
change. Therefore, as you answer the questions, keep in mind the organization
that can be affected by the change strategy you develop.
The OCAI consists of six questions. Each question has four alternatives. Divide
100 points among these four alternatives depending on the extent to which each
alternative is similar to your own organization. Give a higher number of points
to the alternative that is most similar to your organization. For example, in
question one, if you think alternative A is very similar to your organization,
alternative B and C are somewhat similar, and alternative D is hardly similar at
all, you might give 55 points to A, 20 points to B and C, and five points to D.
Just be sure your total equals 100 points for each question.
Note, that the first pass through the six questions is labeled “Now”. This refers
to the culture, as it exists today. After you complete the “Now”, you will find the
questions repeated under a heading of “Preferred”. Your answers to these
questions should be based on how you would like the organization to look five
years from now.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
