It would probably sound a little extreme to come to a Gartner Summit just for the Guest Keynote. But the keynote yesterday at the Gartner Application Architecture, Development and Integration Summit in Las Vegas, by Pat Lencioni, was worth the trip by itself! I’ll put it right on par with the one from Mark Jefferies at the MDM Summit.
- #GartnerAADI keynote by @patricklencioni: leading for innovation.
- 2 requirements for organization success: be smart, be healthy. @patricklencioni at #GartnerAADI
- Healthy org: minimal politics, minimal confusion, high morale, high productivity, low turnover. @patricklencioni at #GartnerAADI
- Every org is smart enough to succeed. Few create environment that is healthy for success. @patricklencioni at #GartnerAADI
- @patricklencioni uses Southwest Airlines as example of a company that does things right. Typical healthy organization. #GartnerAADI
- Leaders have to be good at over-communicating clarity. Say it over and over. And over. And over. @patricklencioni at #GartnerAADI
- RT @sureshsambandam: Most leaders think over communication is redundant esp the technical ones. They need to change says @patricklencion ...
- RT @julietGmcginnis: In teams must master vulnerability based Trust "I need your help" @patricklencioni at #GartnerAADI
- The leader has to go first and demonstrate his own vulnerability. @patricklencioni at #GartnerAADI
- The best leaders are not the smartest ones, they are the ones we can trust. @patricklencioni at #GartnerAADI
- Conflict is good, if based on trust. If no trust, it's politics. @patricklencioni at #GartnerAADI
- When analyzing conflict, consider cultural differences and ways to express disagreement. @patricklencioni at #GartnerAADI
- Not arguing is sign of a problem. Conflict is good. @patricklencioni at #GartnerAADI
- If conflicts don't come out, you have to mine for them, but in productive way. @patricklencioni at #GartnerAADI
- When people don't weigh in, they don't buy in. It's not about consensus though. @patricklencioni at #GartnerAADI
- Conflict leads to commitment. @patricklencioni at #GartnerAADI
- RT @ItsPJKennedy: #gartnerAADI Patrock Lencioni; "....consensus is the socialism of meetings"
- Absence of commitment leads to absence of accountability. @patricklencioni at #GartnerAADI
- Peer pressure if best source of accountability. @patricklencioni at #GartnerAADI
- Need to hold people accountable for productive behavior. @patricklencioni at #GartnerAADI
- Results is what it's all about. Great teams produce. @patricklencioni at #GartnerAADI
- And it all comes together: Trust > Conflict > Commitment > Accountability > Results. @patricklencioni at #GartnerAADI
- Kudos to @Gartner_inc for a terrific guest speaker. Always great keynotes at summits. #GartnerAADI
