S1 E3 - HIGHLIGHT: Jeff Ma, Director Softway & Culture +

In the original episode (S1 E31 aired December 15, 2022), we hear from Jeff Ma, the director at Softway who has been on the ride of moving from a logic first leadership approach to  team-first. In this highlight episode, I focus on the realities of change, the current statistics that reflect the cost of stagnation to the bottom line and what is possible when leaders are courageous enough to shift their world view for the greater good of all... especially the bottom line.

And don't miss their podcast: LAABS Coming up through a decade in the gaming industry, Jeff eventually found his niche in project management and agile coaching at Softway. As he continued working with teams and clients in scrum and agile environments, however, he started seeing the stronger underlying importance of culture in truly high performing teams. Pushed by a combination of his own introspection, feedback from his colleagues, and a whole lot of uncomfortable practice - Jeff shifted head-first into a new mission that he shares with his team: to bring humanity back to the workplace. 

Nowadays, he’s hyper-focused on helping people find a workplace culture that allows them to be their whole selves - their best selves. Jeff is leading the development of various products and tools that are crafted with a culture of love at its center. As a co-facilitator of Seneca Leaders and the other experiences in the Seneca suite, he is also connecting and transforming leaders around the world directly - helping them improve their mindsets, behaviors, and leadership capabilities.
