The org culture mantra is usually considered a silicon valley mumbo jumbo. Although many companies and teams rant about culture, very few in my opinion take it seriously. In this talk I would like to discuss the importance of Org culture and how it makes or breaks businesses and teams. I will lay out some key pointers that will help the influencers in the audience make decisions about their org or team culture. The talk will be in the context of culture in tech companies.

7 Steps to Leading and Creating Change
Leaders today require the right techniques and the right people to generate the proper change required to be competitive. Learn the seven steps to creating immediate change in your organization.
Lean Management
Lean management focuses on maximizing customer value while minimizing waste. It draws from concepts like the Toyota Production System and Total Quality Management to optimize processes through continuous improvement. The core principles of lean include transparency and visualization of workflows, respecting people, empowering employees, removing waste, and optimizing flow and resources through systems thinking. The goal is to shorten lead times and increase quality by eliminating unnecessary steps and unevenness in production.
Management is Dead
Management is dead, at least traditional management is. No need to tell you what’s wrong with traditional management, you’ve probably experienced it yourself. And the results are outrageous, be it at company level, team level, and individual level; downright from project failures to complete demotivation of the staff.
Managers need to evolve, or they simply won’t survive if they don’t bring solutions to the above problems. From traditional management to … Agile management and leadership. You, as an experienced manager or as a wannabe/junior manager, are in a key position to change this.
By attending this 60-minutes talk, you’ll (re-)discover proven and actionable techniques to improve your management skills, foster team productivity, and keep morale and motivation atop. Yes, success is that close ;-)
What is our tolerance for failure (in healthcare)
This document discusses inclusive design and how what is measured influences what is valued. It argues that design should address mismatches and focus on opportunities at the margins to benefit all. Failure occurs when designers make assumptions without examining their own biases. Inclusive design requires flexibility and examining individual biases. Success is achieving just enough structure with personal control. Design is a way to communicate and improve quality of care, transitions of care, and health outcomes.
Software Managers: Their Place in Agile
No more managers! No more hierarchy! A truly self organizing, self-running team! These phrases strike fear into managers almost as much as: We are moving to agile. As successful companies like Zappos, GitHub, and Treehouse discard managers from their teams, other software managers are left wondering about their futures. The reality is that managers are even more relevant and necessary today—if they transform from command-and-control to a coaching-style role. Employees need to know they have an advocate—not just in the business but in their careers. Learn from Brian Sobus how to become that advocate as he draws on his experience leading agile and traditional software development teams. Peer over the abyss as Brian delves into the nuances that are required for this new manager role. Learn how we perceive managers, how that perception must change, and how managers can embrace this transformation. Discover why this needed leadership meshes well with and elevates self-directed teams.
Consult as a Change Agent_L.V._5_30_16
The document summarizes Lizbel Vasquez's consulting internship with The Amsterdam Nursing Home (ANH) and Caretech Group to help reduce ANH's operating costs. Steve Katz from Caretech initiated the relationship to outsource ANH's purchasing. Vasquez's role was to analyze cost data to identify savings from Caretech's purchasing approach and support transitioning to their new system. This helped ANH realize efficiencies from outsourcing to Caretech and minimize costs from things like back orders and requisition processes. Vasquez learned the importance of data to support changes, managing challenges that occur during implementation, and understanding an organization's culture.

How to improve university ranking
To improve university ranking, change people's incentives by creating a simple strategy with clear priorities. Hire the best scholars for leadership positions to attract top faculty. Control quality through hiring panels composed of top researchers who set a high threshold. The VC must personally drive hiring of the best talent and create a list of appointable people, paying top salaries for important roles like department heads. Incentivize raising research money by offering to give something back in return.

In this webinar, you will learn:
The preconditions for a successful rollout
The levers for driving KaiNexus adoption
How to develop and rely on the organizational helpchain to manage training
Tania Lyon
Dr. Lyon has spent the last 7 years leading St. Clair Hospital, a large award-winning community hospital in Pittsburgh, PA, through a “lean” transformation as their first Director of Organizational Performance Improvement. She has trained over 1600 hospital employees in Toyota principles and methods. Her own background in Lean healthcare comes from 5 years with the nonprofit Pittsburgh Regional Health Initiative (PRHI) where she helped to develop their nationally acclaimed curriculum for health care professionals and coached lean improvement efforts in a variety of healthcare settings. Dr. Lyon is also interested in Lean Healthcare applications for low resource settings like hospitals in Malawi and Haiti. She earned her PhD in Sociology from Princeton University and her BA in Peace and Conflict Studies from U.C. Berkeley and has two charming daughters who have thus far resisted all efforts to apply the Toyota Way to their rooms.
Innovator leadership
The document discusses the qualities and characteristics of an innovative leader. It states that a globally acceptable leader positively influences people's lives, is a permanent positive opinion builder, works to boost and propagate humanity, produces superior work, recycles failure into success, challenges averages for big change, exposes people to higher difficulties to help them achieve more, reinvents routines through innovation, helps people feel included, has strong analytical skills, and encourages others. The document also lists potential presentation topics from the author related to increasing productivity, changing mindsets, empowering managers, motivating teams, taking revenge on failure through success, basics of life, future challenges, what leaders do, why organizations fail, and living a healthy lifestyle.
403 - Why become a Lean Leader
The document discusses adopting Lean principles to improve leadership skills. It outlines the five principles of Lean: identify customers and specify value, identify and map the value stream, create flow by eliminating waste, respond to customer pull, and pursue perfection. Adopting Lean will help continuously improve work and ensure everything adds value. Delegates will learn about the principles, identify wasteful activities, and understand how Lean enhances leadership. Examples show how Lean reduced time, failure demand, and increased capacity and satisfaction at Cardiff University. Personal reflection encourages starting small and thinking big to implement sustained change.
Resilient Leadership: The Power of Presence
More than experience or training, resilience in the face of stressful situations and rapid changes determines whether you ultimately succeed or fail in the workplace. Learn the key skills involved in increasing resilience, and the four types of presence you must cultivate.
Change management
This document discusses the need for and challenges of change management. It notes that change is necessary for survival and that individuals and organizations must adapt to change. It identifies common reasons why change initiatives fail, such as lack of communication, employee resistance, and unrealistic timelines. The document advocates establishing a sense of urgency, forming a coalition to lead change, creating a new vision, and planning for short-term wins to successfully manage change. Resistance to change is viewed as a natural reaction that must be addressed through various strategies.

individual may revert to what
they know well and will
subsequently derail.

Research found that follow up is critical for leadership development and that frequent follow up leads to greater perceived positive changes in leadership effectiveness. The best coaching advice focuses on personal and professional development.
Leading with the Heart
This document discusses strategies for motivating and retaining employees through encouragement. It emphasizes the importance of clear standards, high expectations, recognition, and celebrating accomplishments. Employees want appreciation for their work and involvement from their leaders. Leaders who develop relationships, express warmth, communicate values, and listen to employees help create satisfied teams. Regular encouragement involves setting goals, providing feedback, recognizing contributions, sharing success stories, and leading by example through one's own encouragement of others.
Managing Hybrid Teams
1) The document provides advice for managing hybrid teams that include both in-person and remote workers. It discusses the importance of supporting flexibility and change, creating team routines, implementing working out loud practices, mixing work and fun, and managing staff and conflicts.

Courage, Curiosity, and Connection
This document discusses practical tools for navigating a changing world with courage, curiosity and connection. It outlines common responses to distress like trying to control situations, getting stuck ruminating, and lack of emotional management. It then presents newer tools like mindfulness, awareness, reducing distractions, finding intrinsic rewards, giving time to connect with others, and using checklists to standardize best practices and reduce mistakes. The overall message is that developing skills like managing emotions, creating space for reflection instead of just reaction, and cooperating with others can help one adapt successfully to changes.
Engaging learners beyond the classroom
This document discusses engaging learners beyond the classroom through collaboration. It defines engaged learners as those who are contributive, active, interested, involved, sharing knowledge and ideas, connected, asking questions, and participative. Implementing a structured engagement approach can connect formal and informal learning while promoting a culture of open sharing. Challenges to collaboration include organizational risks like lack of readiness for change, technical risks, economic risks, and issues with measurability. Case studies demonstrate benefits like faster product development and access to specialized knowledge. Mitigation involves a phased approach, identifying receptive groups, and subtle governance to build momentum naturally.

Mentoring and coaching are important roles for supervisors in an era of team science. Mentoring involves offering encouragement and sharing knowledge to assist mentees' careers, while coaching helps mentees discover their own paths to goals through questioning. Effective mentors and coaches adapt their approach based on a mentee's needs. When incorporating mentoring into team science, it is important to consider threats to individuals' identities and statuses. Hiring should evaluate candidates' values, performance abilities, and behavioral tendencies. Pre-tenure agreements can clarify expectations for early career scientists' participation in team projects. Motivating team identity involves finding where personal and institutional priorities overlap.
Sobatway A Road to Talent Engagement
To be a champion, I think you have to see the big picture. It's not about winning and losing; it's about every day hard work and about thriving on a challenge. It's about embracing the pain that you'll experience at the end of a race and not being afraid. I think people think too hard and get afraid of a certain challenge. Summer Sanders
