We covered a lot of topics with Veronica! Here are some of the themes from our conversation: Life coaching Friday night every day at work Survive and thrive No such thing as strategic planning Comfortable with the unknown Thinking fast and slow Upper brain vs lower brain thinking Energy Business schools Medicine 2.0 vs 3.0 Shark tank Orgs and survival and culture and valuation Cost of scrum teams Household ownership and accountability and company ownership and accountability Does control kill creativity? Gamblers You come to Vegas, you will lose money, but what did you learn (company analogy) Product Development is probabilistic, not deterministic Thriving - holistic and transparency Tesla - optimizes for time with high level of transparency Deliver frequently Employee experience Great resignation Time is important for companies, but also for employees! Recession Is survival mode appropriate now? Is it prudent? Stock market - buy when stocks are down Companies - invest when times are tough Pragmatic people will be pragmatic Experimenters will always be experimenting Change rates and energy 5th discipline - rubber band effect Personality profiles - strengths finder, DISC GC index Marcus Buckingham (strengths finder) Talent but no joy What’s the solution - balance! Surviving in 2023 - people who think different Most of us collect a paycheck and are detached from ownership mentality (shark tank) As startups grow, ownership mentality fades, and thriving shifts to surviving  Lack of financial intelligence transfers into work Layoffs Very few people in an org understand why the layoffs are actually happening Parenting and analogy to leadership I’m learning every single day because I only know what I know   Connect with us at the following places: Agile Training with Jeff Bubolz and Chad Beier: https://www.wisconsinagility.com  Agile Wire Twitter: https://twitter.com/AgileWire   Jeff Bubolz Twitter: https://twitter.com/JeffBubolz   Jeff Maleski LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffmaleski  Jeff Bubolz LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffbubolz  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0YKEHJtcJXZ55ohsUOvklI   Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-agile-wire/id1455057621   Agile Wire Shorts: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLl0ryedF7y7HWTsbur4ysdpUcY7tniSG    Make sure you subscribe to the channel!   #Scrum #Agile #ProfessionalScrum #Kanban #BusinessAgility
