After reading a great presentation by Nils Pflaegen (Betacodex) on Slideshare, I decided to make a mind map for my own use, just for the fun of clarifying and remembering what I had just learned, and then I decided to share it, so here it is. A hands-on, no frills approach. The Betcode version is here - with all my gratitude : http://fr.slideshare.net/npflaeging/heroes-of-leadership-betacodex14
1) The document discusses leadership and argues that leadership is not defined by titles but by influence, competence, character, and passion. Anyone can demonstrate leadership through their words, deeds, attitudes, and mentoring others.
2) It provides examples of leadership qualities like taking initiative, having a positive attitude, and helping others improve. Quotes also emphasize that leadership means improving yourself in order to improve the world.
3) The conclusion is that you do not need an official title to lead; what matters most are your competence, character, and passion for influencing others in a positive way.
The document discusses entrepreneurship and provides advice for those considering becoming entrepreneurs. It defines entrepreneurship as taking calculated risks to create value and realize aspirations through listening to one's heart. It profiles several young entrepreneurs who started successful businesses while still in school or college. The document encourages the reader to introspect, take criticism well, have self-belief, and take action by identifying opportunities, building a team, and organizing a plan. It emphasizes taking the big step forward to join the ranks of successful entrepreneurs rather than doing the same job for years. The key takeaways are to introspect, make a judicious decision, develop skills through learning, take the plunge with discipline, and remember to send your slides.
This document provides information about connecting personality types to career clusters. It discusses John Holland's theory that people are happier in careers that match their personality. The six main personality types are described as Doer, Thinker, Creator, Helper, Persuader, and Organizer. Examples of careers that correspond to each personality type are listed. The document then guides the reader through an exercise to identify their own personality type and provides tips for researching careers that match their unique personality.
This document provides career advice focused on creating opportunities by developing a personal brand and communicating value. It emphasizes that experience matters less than what one can do, and that standing out requires having a message and point of view supported by expertise, stories, and social proof. The key is demonstrating leadership by being a lifelong learner, applying knowledge in new ways, and showing how one adds value rather than just what was done. Interviews should involve sharing detailed stories and insights about how one will immediately benefit the company.
This book summary provides an overview of the book "The 360° Leader: Developing Your Influence From Anywhere in the Organization" by John C. Maxwell. The book discusses how leadership can be practiced from any level within an organization, not just at the top, through influencing peers, subordinates, and superiors. It outlines principles for leading up, across, and down an organization. The value of developing leadership at all levels is that it creates a stronger team and prepares people for greater responsibilities. Overall, the book promotes a view of leadership as about influence rather than just position.

This document discusses how leadership does not require an official title, and outlines some key principles of effective leadership. It states that to lead, one needs only be a human being who can breathe and present solutions rather than recite problems. Small daily disciplines are emphasized as key to success. Additionally, the document notes that deep relationships strengthen leadership, and that to be a leader one must first become a great person by prioritizing health, family, and personal growth. It lists learning, affirmations, visualizations, journaling, goal setting, exercise and nutrition as fundamentals of self-leadership.

10 Lessons from a First Time Entrepreneur. Scot Chisholm
10 key lessons I've learned over an eight year (and counting) journey as a first time entrepreneur. First presented at Lean Startup Machine in San Diego, CA on May 19, 2013. http://www.stayclassy.org
The document summarizes the key leadership beliefs of a presenter. It discusses leading with passion, having a positive attitude, empowering others, continual self-improvement, effective communication, and leading from the heart. The presenter believes leading from the heart is the most important principle and that getting to the heart of the team, projects, and clients is what leads to success.
A UX professional has the power to heavily influence the success or failure of an entire business – product, service or otherwise. What we forget is that UX professionals are in fact human. We have the same or similar physical, emotional and experiential habits, outlooks and desires as the users we’re designing for. Humans design for humans. Therefore, it’s important to focus on the human, emotional aspect of our UX teams.
Successful design is built not just on our expertise, but our enjoyment in the craft of building itself.
By assessing and analyzing the UX designer as an individual versus the UX designer as a part of a team, this talk will explore and suggest uncommon but potentially vital themes in building and retaining creative inspiration inside a UX team.
Clay Staires - Strand Hospitality ServicesKendall Pope
The document provides tools and strategies for building a high-performing team that stays "on the same page." It discusses the importance of constant recruiting, strategic interviewing, and systematic onboarding to hire "A players." Regular meetings are emphasized, including monthly "same page" meetings, weekly management meetings, and daily stand-ups. Templates are provided for agendas, timelines, and checklists to standardize communication and ensure consistency. The goal is to equip leaders with concrete actions for developing a united, goal-oriented "dream team" through structured processes for recruitment, training, management and accountability.
The document provides advice on how to start a startup. It recommends gaining experience building projects while in school. When coming up with ideas, aim for large markets with pain points. Find co-founders who you enjoy working with and share values. Build small prototypes to test ideas, and fundraising is more like performance art than a logical process. Hiring should prioritize cultural fit over traditional interviews.
The Day I Realized I Was Not Yet An Agile Coach : Presented by Sylvain MaheoGuild .
I remember that morning, 6 or 7 years ago. I had been practicing Agile for a couple of years and I had decided to update my LinkedIn profile. I opened my profile, edited my headline and replaced “Scrum Master” with “Agile Coach”.
That was a lie. But I didn’t know it at that time. I really believed I had become a coach. In reality I was a consultant, a trainer, sometimes a mentor.
A few years later I decided to go back to school -a coaching school- and it changed my life.
In this talk, I shared my personal journey to become an (Agile) Coach and shared what I’ve learned along the way:
• What is the difference between consulting, training, coaching and why we should care?
• Why by calling ourselves coaches we are not doing any good to the coach profession?
• What can we do about it?
• How did I become a coach?
• What are my coaching tools?
• Does your organization really need a coach?

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes.

It’s about YOU first … the driver.

People.”

stuff’

18. Make teambuilding a habit
• Be prepared to get it wrong!
• Be prepared for people to leave!
• Be prepared for many hires!
• Top-grade at every opportunity!
• Understand it is a habit! .. Not an event.
19. “A” Grade Players needed!
• #1 Challenge - Hiring Great People on any budget

hire B or C players who demotivate the A players -
so the cost of making a hiring mistake is costly in
time, money, and team energy/enthusiasm.
• The only hiring method measured to deliver a

- systemic structures (what they need to measure)
- patterns of behaviour (what shapes the business)
- events (what happens every day)
25. Mission
When you discover your mission, you
will feel its demand. It will fill you
with enthusiasm and a burning desire
to get to work on it.
- W. Clement Stone
26. “Mission …”
Mission Statement Creation
• First identify your organization's "winning idea".
• This is the idea or approach that will make your organization
stand out from its competitors, and is the reason that customers
will come to you and not your competitors.
• Next identify the key measures of your success.
• Combine your winning idea and success measures into a tangible
and measurable goal.

of your mission, which expresses your ideas, measures and
desired result.

promote and let go”

sells and is energised.

bed for every day!.
37. Luck
I believe in luck. The harder I
work, the luckier I get!
Sam Shoen
38. “Luck …”
• Hope is not a strategy!
• Luck is the crosshairs of “Chance” and
“Opportunity”
• You invest wisely, you get lucky.
• You don’t get lucky sitting at your desk.
39. Failure
Success is not final, failure is not
fatal: it is the courage to continue
that counts.
Winston Churchill
40. “Failure…”
• In order to succeed, your desire for success
should be greater than your fear of failure.
• I don't know the key to success, but the key
to failure is trying to please everybody.
• Failure is simply the opportunity to begin
again, this time more intelligently.
41. Key Lessons
• Habits guide you when you are on your
own – make teambuilding a habit.
• Plan your journey before you start.
• Understand your exit strategy!
Then,

• The ‘80/20 rule’ rules!
• NEVER hire because you feel sorry!
• Top grade – build a ‘fight to keep’ team
• Let go early!
• The only thing you bring forward from
the past …. Is the lesson!
44. “and finally …”
“The day you lean back in your big leather
chair happy with yourself …..
….. That’s the day your going broke!”
Brendan Davies, Principal WSHS - 1993
