Friend or Foe in the Workplace? Choose Wisely
Narratives (we create) and our expectations of others directly influence our interactions and relationships.
For example: View others as competitors, and you’ll create a world with enemies in it.
View others as collaborators, and you’ll create a world of allies and advocates.
It often comes down to the blueprint of how we see the world and the choices we make.
Thoughts->thought patters->actions->habits->identity.

Secret to Get Introverts to Speak Up in Meetings
Challenge: In meetings, not everyone’s voice is being heard, which limits problem solving, innovation and teamwork. This happens for several reason including:
1) People who talk the most sometimes have the worst ideas or they prevent other people from speaking because they monopolize the time.
2) Introverts often don’t speak up (for various reasons)
3) Some people fear speaking up or don’t believe they can add to the conversation
Solution: “Train” everyone in the team to speak up and show them it’s “safe” to do so. You’ll improve communication, collaboration and teamwork
How? Pair people up to pitch one another’s ideas in a team meeting.

Smiling Depression is a Workplace Danger
Sometimes when people are smiling and happy they are really silently suffering on the inside. 15%+ of depressed individuals put on their happy face (see the below article). They call it “smiling depression.”
Supporting others means allows us to be real and authentic instead of feeling pressured to put on a brave face, be positive and be in a good mood.
Learn to create a psychological safe environment where people can be where they are currently at emotionally. Otherwise you are creating a culture of impression making where people are acting to fit in. That’s toxic and kills morale and performance.

Why Your Ego Can Be a Career Killer
One of the main reasons people don’t maximize their leadership, managerial and career potential is they care much more about “impression making” than “improving, growing and making progress.”
Here is a good article on it that describes how Steve Jobs ego got in the way. http://fortune.com/2016/06/14/ego-ste...
Remember: Extraodinary performance and leadership is the combination of high standards, big visions, lofty goals and humility (i.e. egos that don’t get in the way.)

Lifelong Learners Do This Better Than Anyone Else
Curiosity, learning and personal development are undervalued qualities. Someone who values learning over their lifetime recognizes that you can learn something from everyone you meet.
Seek best practices from those that mastered the craft or skill.
Learning wisdom can come from any person, anywhere and at anytime. You just have to be willing and open to take it in.

How to Create Company Values That Drive Behaviors and Performance
90% companies who create value statements for employees to follow are completely wasting their time. Brene Brown (In her new book), Gartner Group & other research show that employees aren’t living out those values in their behavior. BUT they can be powerful if you have a structured process to create company values.
Here’s a test to see if you know your company values and if they make an impact:
“Can you tell a story about something that happens in your company that would not happen anywhere else? What company values does the story line up with?”
Not many people can answer that.
Here is a process you can use to create game-changing values.
1) Create a short list of guiding principles for your company. I’d keep it to three.
2) For each value write out the behaviors an employee needs to exhibits in order to embody it.
3) Each month, take one of those principles and focus on it. Market it, educate and show examples of it.
4) Reward employees for exhibiting that one principle.
5) Include it in performance check-in reviews, bonuses, etc.
6) For hiring, use values to focus on cultural contribution rather than cultural fit so you hire diverse people rather just people who think alike.

Seek out Discomfort Because It’s Really Your Friend
Get comfortable being uncomfortable.
Get confident being uncertain. Don’t give up just because something is hard. If it wasn’t hard what’s the point in doing it.
Pushing through challenges is what creates massive growth and learning.
Plus, that’s when you feel MOST alive.
Seek out discomfort. It’s your friend not your enemy.

2019 is THE Watershed Year For Tech Company IPOs
The IPO craze and bonanza is finally upon us. The dam has broke and the IPO water is finally flowing. The most valued and prized private companies are going public. We’ve seen S1s from Lyft, Pinterest, and Zoom. There is a high likelihood we will see more. These could include Uber, Slack, Airbnb, and many others.
There are benefits to this (but not to the soaring prices of real estate in San Francisco):
1) We will figure out the true valuations of these tech companies. You need an event like this to make it happen.
2) Money from this liquidity event will cycle back into the market creating a whole host of new ventures. Innovation and creativity are back. That’s exciting.
3) Excitement and new-born confidence in the startup market will bring additional funding.
4) Acquisition market will heat up as these newly public companies will make their own investments.
5) Individuals in these organizations will purchase things injecting money into the overall economy.
It’s been a while since we’ve seen the IPO market heat up. I’m glad it’s back.
