Abstract
After 5 years coaching Leaders at Spotify, I grew weary of companies claiming they were copying us.
My problem is most companies wanting agility, start at the team level and ignoring the opportunities and problems across their org, and leadership that would improve their business results, and not merely a teams output.
This talk is my take on what to be aware of when taking inspiration from the approaches of others, how to go understanding your situation well enough to be sure you aren't solving a problem you don't have. Finally how to engage leadership in designing around their biases and defaults, to create the habits need to sustain the momentum of improvement.
I explore this through three lenses.
Systems - Looking beyond the team level to create focus across all flight levels
Science - How to avoid missing out, find your highest leverage opportunities
Sapiens - How to build habits that consistently design around your Bias
Takeaways
- Where to look besides the team level when you want to level up your business.
- How to find the highest leverage improvement actives, to avoid working hard and rather be smart.
- How designing around our biases and defaults, creates habits that sustain and amplify our successes.
