“I found success over this decade because I want the individuals in my board or on my teams to succeed in their world. And then I believe if they're succeeding. I'll continue to find those connections that will help actually everybody succeed.”
All in Leadership
Moving from Development to Management with Ryan Johnson
“The skills actually by which you get things done are so fundamentally different. It's not just you and a computer screen. It's you trying to communicate. It's you clearing blockers and you know stopping other things and giving feedback and do these things that are just not your day today as a programmer.”
Marketing Inclusivity with Rosemary Ugboajah
“Don't go after inclusion in your organization just to make the numbers. Or just to look at attractive to others it has to be authentic. You have to really understand why your organization should be inclusive and because they're going to be sacrifices made along the way.”
The Lost Art of Team Building with Colin Ellis
“People forget that in this age of frameworks & "badge collecting" that it's still about creating an environment that people want to be a part of that get the job done.”
Making the Shift from Product to Service with Jeff Sussna
“The struggle that I see is not so much the VP saying... I'm going to lose half my people. But the VP saying or thinking... I don't know how to lead my people in this new way. I don't know how to reward failure.”
The "Two-Way Door" of Innovation with Brandon Jernigan
“When we're going through our experiment process, we think in terms of like low-fidelity, medium-fidelity and high-fidelity. You know the levels of risk and reversibility increase as the fidelity increases. So really outlining that and being clear with our business partners has helped a ton.”
Reputation is Earned with Emily Soccorsy and Justin Foster
“You have a personal brand. Every human does. The choice isn't do I have a brand or not. That's not a choice. It’s like deciding whether or not to obey gravity. What you do have a choice then is how you show up in the world. That's the choice.”
Emotional Intelligence in Leadership with Howie Milstein
“I've always thought that it would be a great lot of times when bosses will introduce somebody was working for them. They'll say well so and so works for me. The next steps in that evolution would be... better to say while we work together. So not really create that distance. And then if you really can sort of check your ego at the door and be humble and vulnerable say well this is so and so and I really work for them.”
Product Management is Negotiation with Jen Swanson
“Once you get up at a certain point in the organization people assume, you're like you got it, right like no one is going to tell you to go out and grow and develop and learn and stretch yourself. When your a VP sorry to say once you get to certain level people stop caring about your about your personal development. So that's the point at which I have to care about it.”
