Deconstructing silos: the backstory #orgdev #orgdna

[Chris @sourceNFT_]

Silos may be needed to leverage specialization, quality or scale. But so often they create resistant, slow-moving bureaucracy. Questions like these help us tease out the differences. #orgdev #orgdna

Wisdom that’s never out date. I’d own an “ok boomer” for these

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

A 22-year-old follower recently messaged me asking for career advice.

Here are the 5 pieces of advice I shared:

1. Swallow the Frog: This is one of the greatest "hacks" to get ahead early in your career. Observe your boss, figure out what they hate doing, learn to do it, and take it off their plate. Easy win.

2. Do the "Old Fashioned" Things Well: There are simple things that still stand out. Look people in the eye, do what you say you'll do, be early, practice good posture, have a confident handshake. It sounds silly, but these things are all free and will never go out of style.

3. Work Hard First (& Smart Later): It's in vogue to say that working smart is all that matters. Wrong. If you want to accomplish anything meaningful, you have to start by working hard. Build a reputation for hard work—take pride in it. Then you can start to build leverage to work smart.

4. Build Storytelling Skills: World-changing CEOs aren't the smartest or most talented in their organizations. They are exceptional at: (1) Aggregating data and (2) Communicating it simply & effectively. Data in, story out. Build that skill and you'll always be valuable.

5. Build a Rep for Figuring It Out: Early on, you'll be given a lot of tasks you have no idea how to complete. There's nothing more valuable than someone who can just figure it out. Do some work, ask the key questions, get it done. People will fight over you.

Embrace those 5 pieces of advice and I guarantee you'll stand out and be on the right track.

@GreggMastersMPH @Twitter @2healthguru Hey Gregg, still here !! Hope you’re doing well .. !

[Collaboration DNA @sourcepov]

@RebekahRadice Maybe so, Rebekah. But how many experts actually do those things?

[Collaboration DNA @sourcepov]

Amid on-going pandemic struggles, a focus on better orgs and agility can feel out of place. Some of our best ideas are on hold. What's needed? Reassurance. And it's never too late to improve our important relationships - @sourcepov

One question that comes up often in my world @MeghanMBiro : generalist or specialist? Seems greater needs for one, but process favors the other. Thoughts? #clo #chro #futureofwork

@RosabethKanter @JoeBiden @KamalaHarris Powerful statement from you @rosabethkanter - you were an early voice on the challenges of influence & change

[Collaboration DNA @sourcepov]

Clarity. Confidence. Dialog on common ground, and what's truly important - the foundations for a #returntosanity - and space for possibility.

Thinking about #orgdna again.
Maybe even #socialdna !?

@TODAYshow @jmeacham Absolute clarity >> Democracy requires empathy. Both sides must listen. “There must be conversation” Thank you @jmeacham - divisiveness traces the true fault lines of #Decision2020

[Chris @sourceNFT_]

@jonhusband @allysoncooksey Agree @jonhusband - though I was encouraged by @jmeacham perspective this a.m. on @TODAYshow - he spoke on dialog, listening, healthy debate as “the oxygen of democracy” - important points that have fallen off radar. #Decision2020

[Chris @sourceNFT_]

@RuhleOnMSNBC @ps_infocus @jmeacham @MSNBC Significant clarity @jmeacham. Conversation. Empathy. Healthy, bipartisan debate. We need to return focus to the core principles of democracy that got us here - a something a true American leader understands #Decision2020

[Collaboration DNA @sourcepov]

Excellent visualization. Changes our perspective. So often, we see what we expect to see, not what is realy there. #criticalthinking

Dialog. Empathy. Finding common ground. A willingness to listen. Tablestakes for governing and any real #bipartisan #collaboration.

Too soon?

[Chris @sourceNFT_]

Mindset and culture, two of the hardest things to change. But for American politics, that’s the task at hand. Props to @jmeacham on dialog, @NPRinskeep on discernment and @MichaelSteele on leadership. Your voices are resonating. #Decision2020
