    Ep132 The Bonfire Moment, with Martin Gonzalez, Google HQ Org Dev
    May 14 2024
    Most startups fail not because of a bad product, poor timing, or mismanaged cash, but because of people problems: conflicts over strategy, decision-making, and team culture. Martin Gonzalez co-authored ''The Bonfire Moment'' with Josh Yellin; the book launches today. Get it here: https://www.bonfiremoment.com/ View the video version on Spotify or HERE: https://youtu.be/C3wWCPEKNA0 Even the smartest entrepreneurs have been derailed by soft problems: How do you fire a loyal friend who’s not up to par? How do you motivate your team to give their all? What happens when egos and emotions overpower facts and reason? === 7 key strategies are cornerstones of The Bonfire Moment feedback structure: 1 Treat people like volunteers 2 Protect the team from distractions 3 Invite disagreement 4 Minimize unnecessary micromanagement 5 Preserve interpersonal equity 6 Keep pace with expertise 7 Overcome discouragement === 4 TRAPS – The trap of Speed The trap of the Inner Circle The trap of the Maverick Mindset The trap of Confidence Why maverick ideas can lead startups into trouble? What are the 6 most common maverick beliefs? 1. The myth of equal equity: Co-founders should receive equal equity in return for equal commitment and equal contributions. 2. The myth of shared command: Power and decision-making should be shared equally among cofounders. 3. The myth of scaling without hierarchy: Layers of management should be avoided as the company grows, because they create bureaucracy and slow progress. 4. The myth of structural harmony: Disputes between functional roles represent a failure point that should be fixed. 5. The myth of conflict-free growth: A strong culture should be able to minimize or even prevent all interpersonal conflict, even as the team grows. 6. The myth of sustained heroics: Heroic extra effort is necessary for the long haul, not just during the startup’s earliest months. The Bonfire Moment has proven effective with hundreds of teams of all sizes around the world—from the smallest startups to large organizations—significantly improving their cohesion, focus and effectiveness. Now this book teaches leaders the principles behind The Bonfire Moment and how to run the workshop on their own. It’s ideal for anyone who needs a committed and resilient team to achieve big goals.

  • Ep130 Feedback: Giving and Receiving, with Mel Kettle

    Ep130 Feedback: Giving and Receiving, with Mel Kettle
    Apr 23 2024
    Episode 130 is with Mel Kettle, author of "The Social Association" and "Fully Connected'. TALKING POINTS Not only do you give feedback down, you give it across and you give it up as well. Giving feedback is one skill set, while how to receive feedback is just as important. When you hear the word feedback, how do you react? “Feedback” is one of those words that can be polarizing and cause panic. I encourage leaders to create a culture of conversation within their organization so that they never have to use the word feedback. How do I have a conversation with my manager who doesn't listen? If you don't have a trusted relationship with your manager, then that's going to be a difficult conversation. What do you do when you're on the receiving end of that difficult conversation? Mel Kettle has a five-step feedback framework.
