Beyond One Happy Team: Self-Selection for a Better Culture The talent shortage is real. According to CareerBuilder research, 60% of US organizations today can't fill their open positions in 12 weeks or more. Combined with a high turnover rate, this leads to a massive loss of profit opportunities.How can we create a culture that attracts people and keeps them engaged, motivated, and well-jelled with their teams? And after they join, how do we build resilience into our teams and the organization? Empowering people to choose their own teams - a 'self-selection' - is a great vehicle to build happiness, resilience and a better culture.In this session I will share stories from running successful self-selection events in New York, Dublin and Chicago, and how I prepare technology teams and management for their first self-selection events.

Scaling Agile Metrics - Tracking Metrics That Matter! Scaling Agile Metrics - Tracking Metrics That Matter! It seems like every leader is asking for the big 'M' word now, but what metrics really should matter to them? Whether you're new to Agile or scaling Agile, you're probably thinking of how you will actually measure the health of the overall Agile adoption. Through this session we'll take a deeper dive into both the Qualitative and Quantitative metrics that should be tracked at the Team, Program, Product and Portfolio levels. We'll explore how some of these can provide predictive leading indicators (so you can catch problems before they happen) and some are lagging indicators (reflecting on what has already happened).

Lead with Joy! You won't get to joy by leading the way you always led. You, the leader, will need to make a change, serious change. In this talk, Rich will explore his own journey to joy, how he had to learn to lead in a completely different way, by doing so, witnessed results that exceeded his wildest expectations. In this talk, Rich will use this example and by analogy apply it to the human teams we are leading. The message is simple: when we finally understand the relevant principles (in flight, or in teams), we can fly to heights and distances that were previously unimaginable. Rich will take you on a journey of change and bring you to the place he is now ... that we stand at the vanguard of understanding what it takes to unleash the human potential of the people who work for us and around us. He will explain how the common, unchanging, disengagement statistics are a fundamental failure of leadership and what simple things we can do to get our teams off the ground and flying.
