Event Details
Topic: Leading Responsible Change
Many agile practitioners keep trying to get others to change but find the progress is agonizingly slow. Does this ever effect you? You can recite all the popular expert advice on change, but it's dang difficult to get a handle on applying any of it. Why?
Did you ever think maybe that popular expert advice no longer fits into today's environment? Why not? Because all that change advice comes from an era of relative stability and we're in an era of crazy and increasing complexity. So you might want to re-examine that advice. Yuck, no fun.
But don't worry. In this lively session we'll explore why popular large scale change models are broken (i.e., what is no longer relevant and what is) and what to do about it, starting with you, starting with today. We'll examine the most practical applied definitions available for words like leadership, responsibility, agility, and change, then we'll link them in a practical way you can take away and apply for huge leverage in your life, relationship, and work today and for the rest of your life.
Take aways include:
- You'll know how responsible change works, where it starts, and how it proceeds
- You'll also understand how personal responsibility works in the mind and that it's not the same as job accountability, and why that's all so darn confusing (at work and elsewhere)
- You may even be a bit inspired to take this information and try it on for yourself
Speaker: Christopher Avery Ph.D.
Leaders worldwide study Christopher's research because it shows them how to consciously expand their leadership power and ability every day so they can learn and grow faster, overcome challenges, and achieve their potential while energizing their teams and organizations.
Unlike anecdotal approaches to leadership development and change, Christopher's approach derives from 20 years of field studies on the front lines of leadership about how personal responsibility -- thefirst principle of success-- operates in our minds. These rich discoveries are changing how people live more fulfilling lives, how leaders lead, how agile teams get built, and how coaches and parents teach and inspire personal responsibility.
Christopher is a sought-after, international speaker, author, and business advisor on responsible leadership, teamwork, and change for companies like GAP, Wells Fargo, and Ebay. Known for his cutting-edge work to demystify and then develop practical team leadership skills for engineers and other technical professionals, Christopher wrote the popular classic Teamwork Is An Individual Skill for everyone who is fed up with working in bad teams. Fortune magazine called it the only book on teamwork you need to read.
As the visionary force behind the worldwide Leadership Gift community, Christopher applies groundbreaking discoveries about personal responsibility and performance to support leaders intent on rapidly building highly reliable, agile, sustainable, and accelerating teams and cultures.
Christopher is president of Partnerwerks Inc., the company he co-founded in 1991 to document best practices for collaborating under competitive conditions. He is an agile coach with Rally Software, teaching Scrum and Product Owner workshops. Christopher is also a Senior Consultant with the IT and Agile Project Management practices of the Cutter Consortium, a Boston-area think tank. He co-authored the Declaration of Interdependence and co-founded the Agile Project Leadership Network dedicated to connecting, developing, and supporting great project leaders.
Christopher earned his Doctorate in Communication of Technology from The University of Texas at Austin where he occasionally lectures. He is a Visiting Scholar at Capella University.
The author of hundreds of articles and commentaries about individual and collective performance at work, Christopher is a popular source for the media.
