Walked a leader from a peer company through the dashboard we’ve built to give Striders access to our business performance. I focus so much on what we have yet to do it’s rewarding to help someone by showing what we have already done.
Revenue, gross margin, net income year to date and on a rolling 3 month forecast. Sales calendar. Earned revenue burn up. And the same key metrics our leadership team views bi weekly.
Can you have twenty years of experience, your dream job, the privileges of a male in tech and still fight imposter syndrome on a daily basis? Yes. My great fortune is a purpose larger than myself and audacious, generous co-workers.
It was during the height of the pandemic that Rebecca Braitling introduced me to Leadership Forum Community, Inc. and I almost immediately started working with the great people in the “Unlearning Racism Lab” there to learn and help. And that’s why I’m participating in this event. Much to learn and share.
There’s no value in wanting people to change unless you can communicate a compelling need, know or seek help knowing what it looks like, the people are hopeful their situation will improve as a result, and you are are willing to change yourself.

I try to walk a path between “disagree and commit” and “we need total alignment”. Within whatever time I can make. I gather information. Consult people effected by the decision. Create options. If possible, break the decision into smaller ones and iterate. Then I act.

Scrum is too often used to regulate developers but predictable, quality requires high craft and cross functional collaboration. The stories get small because the whole team works together to make them smaller over time and through shared learning. Scrum provides the data insights for the team to improve their own performance.
Do people have suggestions of ways to involve co-workers in a 3-5 min. town hall opening that doesn’t require them to prep but still keeps a tight focus on the purpose of the time which is connecting our longer term business strategy to something they care about now?
I need advice. We’re looking for branding advice (positioning, voice, etc.). We don’t need the full execution support but definitely need the high level guidance and someone to have the positioning conversations with our clients.
Does anyone know of any agencies or consultants you know who are good at the big picture and would work with a small company?
