An IT leadership journey from users to customers
Nourish Relationships

When you surround yourself with accountable people you trust they have a wonderful habit of cutting across the status quo! They go about their work asking for forgiveness and not permission as they are empowered to provide the optimal solution. We will discuss the importance of executive buy in and that no matter how important you are everyone is replaceable. Would you not sooner pick your replacement than leave it to chance? Remember what is obvious to you is not obvious to everyone and the people love to talk, so make sure you are communicating. Eliminating the concept of “them”, the unseen forces that hold you back working towards the “we” that gets things done. You also need to ensure you love what you are doing and with healthy relationships in place you can identify the artificial hardships you create for yourself and your team and tear them down.
