Agile enables acts of leadership at all levels of the team. Whether you are a project manager, a product owner or a business owner, leadership skills are needed more than ever.

Why?

Remote working and the constant uncertainties of a pandemic, make the team work more challenging than ever. A leader is serving the team, is removing any roadblocks, trusts and empowers the team to achieve success.

In this webinar Peter Monkhouse & Joanna Tivig will talk about how a leader should behave and work with the team. They will focus on how a product leader inspires and supports the team through product management and development.

  • It took 75 years for the telephone to reach 50 million users. 
  • It took Facebook only 4!

The pace of technology is staggering and the notion that machines will replace our jobs is receiving considerable attention.

By 2025 machines will perform more work tasks than humans, according to the World Economic Forum Future of Jobs Report. This prediction has worried workers and employers.

The good news is that organizations are thinking about the social implications of this man/machine shift and considering their options.

Deloitte’s 2019 Global Human Capital Trends report, “Leading the social enterprise: Reinvent with a human focus” reflects polling results of nearly 10,000 respondents in 119 countries.

Amongst its findings, CEOs were asked to rate their most important measure of success in 2019. The No. 1 issue they cited was “impact on society, including income inequality, diversity and the environment”.

Join Brett Wilson, Sr. Director of Thought Leadership & Strategy at Cornerstone and Julie Hiipakka, Vice President and Learning Research Leader at Bersin, Deloitte Consulting as they discuss:

  • The pace of technology and its effect on jobs
  • Design principles for the social enterprise
  • The key 2019 human capital trends and their influence over the future of the workforce, the future of the organization, and the future of HR
  • Key takeaways and approaches HR organizations can leverage to be better prepared for the “reinvention” ahead

Presenters: 

Julie Hiipakka  (LinkedIn profile) Cornerstone Vice President of Learning Research

Brett Wilson (LinkedIn profile) Director  Cornerstone’s Thought Leadership and Strategy Directorate;  provides advice to clients to align with business goals and objectives. Prior to joining Cornerstone, Brett owned consulting firm where he provided critical HR strategy advice and services to several prominent organizations including Cummins Inc., Raytheon, Bechtel Engineering, Shell Oil, Cognizant, Stanford University, U.S. Pharmacopeia, Thoratec Corporation, and the National Defense University.

Live IIL Webinar – July 28th, 2022 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm EDT

You will need to register with IIL and sign into the site to register for this opportunity. This session may fill up quickly so sign up today.

It’s often said, with nods of wise agreement, that any organization is nothing without its people. Countless books and courses on leadership, over many decades, address this well-known and accepted axiom.

Then why are nearly 70% of all employees in the U.S. disengaged at work? Clearly, the conferences, books, courses and motivational speakers are insufficient to make a difference.

This session by Garry Ridge, (LinkedIn profile) CEO of WD-40 Company & Judith W. Umlas  (LinkedIn profile) Senior Vice President IIL & the author of The Power of Acknowledgment will look “under the hood” of one of the world’s most recognized brands, where employee engagement is above 93%, 98% say they “love to work at WD-40 Company”, and 99% say that their “opinions and values are a good fit” for WD-40 Company.

This high engagement has resulted in a company that has doubled in revenue in the last decade and is on a trajectory to double again in the next.

Garry will share his company’s “learning moments” over the course of his efforts to transform the company’s culture, beginning in 1997. Lessons and principles covered include:

  • The personal journey of every Grateful/Servant leader, and why these philosophies, and behavioral change models are critical
  • The emotional connection of a greater purpose that creates high engagement
  • How to carefully and consciously choose values that will be embedded in all aspects of leadership and employee development
  • Why investing in people who invest in themselves is a secret to succession planning and greater organizational capability
  • The difference between a “team” and a “tribe”, and why WD-40 Company strove to create a cohesive tribe that spans 15 countries where employees work
  • How company performance results are directly connected to its focus on people

What You Will Learn:

  • How to create a state of engagement for your employees
  • How to create a culture in which employee satisfaction if almost universal
  • How to retain your employees and keep them motivated
  • Understand the factors shaping the knowledge-based economy and the importance of appreciation.
  • Recognize the mindset and capabilities necessary for creating and sustaining a successful team.
  • Describe the six dimensions that matter for mission-based work.
  • Implement at least one successful leadership strategy for immediate use in their project teams.

Agility is supported by methodologies, processes and techniques but true organisational agility can only be achieved if it is supported by leadership behaviours that normalise, value and encourage the application of agile approaches.

Melanie will explain and provide examples of these leadership behaviours, discuss why they are so challenging to adopt for many in senior positions and how you can help encourage their adoption.

We know that agility is not a methodology or set of processes or techniques. Agility is the behaviours and attitudes that enable the ability to move quickly and easily.

They are supported by new ways of working, but these new approaches only work if the environment encourages and rewards there use.

Leaders are principal players in creating this environment. Leaders are not restricted to those with hierarchical power within their organisations. A leader is someone who others willingly follow.

To be an effective agile leader, there are seven behaviours that support each other, and taken together enable agile processes and techniques to flourish.

These behaviours are:

  1. Imagining the future state
  2. Flexing your vision
  3. Identifying small steps
  4. Living with uncertainty
  5. Decision making
  6. Seeking the input of others
  7. Relinquishing control

If you are in any form of leadership position, this webinar will give you the chance to benchmark your own behaviour against agile excellence and to identify areas for improvement.

If you are a project/programme manager, PMO or Product Owner, this will give you lots of ideas of what discuss with your Sponsor.

To support your “managing upwards” objectives, I will provide you with examples of what actions to ask your senior leaders to focus on and why these are essential to an effective agile culture.

There isn’t a day that goes by that we don’t see a post on LinkedIn about, “Excited to join a new company” or “Starting a new job!”

It’s not surprising, as currently research tells us there are about two available jobs per available worker. Employees have the choice, and they are making the choice to stay or leave quickly.

With the settling of hybrid and remote work options, the need to design a human-centered onboarding experience has never been more important.

A great onboarding experience can improve retention by 82%,2 yet 88% of organizations don’t onboard their employees well.

What does a human-centered onboarding experience look like…virtually?

Jenelle Buatti (LinkedIn profile) Sr. Customer Success Enablement Manager, & Carol Stanley (LinkedIn profile) Employee Experience Manager, Limeade will unpack methods on how to design a human-centered onboarding experience where employees feel welcomed, supported, and set up for success.

Learn:

  • The power of creating opportunities for human connection
  •  Explore methods to showcase your culture in a virtual environment
  • Ways to increase collaboration and communication quickly
