  • This is am amazing technique from the Nvidia CEO. Gathering feedback as a Leader is such an important skill. Not only does it help you to keep your finger on the pulse, but making sure your 'data feed' is as pure as possible also cuts through a lot of politics and charades. If you only ever listen to a small number of colleagues, you won't ever get the full picture of your business – and make decisions based on 'dirty data'. Jensen Huang found a great way to scale this, while being clear with expectations on what feedback he wants and what will happen with it.

    Just read this in today's Australian about Jensen Huang the founder of NVIDIA --- "For decades, Nvidia employees have been sending notes known as T5Ts, or Top-5 Things—things they're working on, things they're thinking about, things they're noticing in their corners of the business. And for decades, Jensen Huang has been reading them. All of them. "If you send it, I'll read it." "I'm looking to detect the weak signals." --- I love this. The more layers between you and the shop floor, the more filtered and sanitised your reports will be. Micromanaging? I'm ok with that.

  • This month we are running a few sessions on Leadership Styles! Most emerging leaders are trying to find their "one true leadership style", the one that makes them feel authentic and is often inspired by a past manager. In reality, it's impossible to succeed with just one style. Getting comfortable with multiple styles out of our comfort zone – while still staying true to ourselves – is one of the focus of our Sandbox Sessions. If you're keen to join, hit us up in the comments. :)

    82% of Managers are seen as lacking in Leadership skills by their employees – and 87% of leaders wished they had more training before they started. A coincidence? So what does ‘good’ look like when it comes to leading Teams in Tech? How can you build and sustain confidence in yourself, and confidence of your stakeholders? And how can you create a safe and engaging team culture? It's not too late to secure a spot at this intensive, full day workshop with Benjamin F. Wirtz to find out!

    💡One of the most liberating things I have learned in my ADHD journey is how much more outside stimuli affects me. Excessive noise, especially on public transport or public spaces, loud conversations, and mundane street life can really set off a cognitive-depleting day. With the added load of masking, I used to really struggle. ⚡️The great thing is that since discovering this, I can not only calibrate my day to balance my energy and the impact I can make on other people's work, but also be more compassionate about how I feel at the end of tougher days. Instead of beating myself up for feeling so tired or cranky, I am able to look at things realistically and know that I'm managing the best I can. 🖖🏼 So, why am I sharing this on LinkedIn? A very ADHD reason! Part of how are brains are wired struggles to deal with disappointing others, and I have found myself feeling that a lot on this platform over the last few weeks. I get asked to go to coffees, to meet for advice or guidance, etc. This is nothing new to people on here! However, for someone like me, going somewhere to have coffees with someone I have not met is actually super depleting. It's not debilitating by any means, but I do feel it takes much more energy than it should (at least for me) and it impacts that rest of my day. So when I suggest we have a phonecall or even a video call instead, I am not blowing you off. Far from it. I am protecting my energy and my cognitive health. 👉🏼 To many neurotypical people, or even extroverts, this must sound like I'm precious. And maybe I am - and it's fine to be precious with your time, by the way. But I truly do not want people to stop reaching out for help, advice, guidance or even just a chat. I want us to embrace alternatives so that we can do more, not less. #neurodiversity #add #adhd #community #HRtech

    This week, Onset Tech&Talent Meetups hosted an event centred all around how to master becoming a leader Engineering, Product and Design 💡 In a session run by Benjamin F. Wirtz, Managing Director of Scalable Leaders, he shared why the jump into leadership is extra hard for people in tech and methods on how to set yourself up for success as a leader. Chief People Officer at Good On You🦩 Claudia Barriga-Larriviere and The Onset co-founder and CEO, Sean McCartan, then delved into questions from the audience, giving a behind the scenes look at what organisations are looking for in leaders and how themselves as leaders navigate guiding teams. Some key takeaways included: 💡 Being a multiplier is key to leadership. Empower others to operate independently and invest in your team to level up. 💡 A leader has to work towards results. Effort isn’t always considered, but is a metric that should have more emphasis put on. 💡 Leadership is doing things differently and taking the risk. It’s also about knowing where you are, and how you can make a difference. Want to join upcoming events in this series?
