I first heard Dave Kline speak at E-commerce Fuel Live in New Orleans a few months ago. It was an awesome event, and Dave's talk was a highlight for me. Dave is a seasoned leader with over 20 years of experience working with teams at Bridgewater and Moody's. Dave shares his candid take on how to level up our leadership skills, spot great talent, hire the right managers, and build a team that drives business growth and success.Key topics and lessons discussed:-The importance of simplifying processes and avoiding unnecessary hiring by focusing on the most critical problems in your business.-How do you identify the right roles to hire for and avoid compromising on character when bringing in new talent?-The benefits and challenges of promoting from within versus hiring external candidates for management positions.-Strategies for maintaining a flat, collaborative culture while introducing a management structure to support business growth.-The significance of setting clear incentives and codifying cultural values to encourage desired behaviors and decision-making processes.-Creating rituals and intentional moments for feedback and idea-sharing to counteract the potential drawbacks of a hierarchical structure.-Balancing the measurement of managers' performance based on team output and the sustainability of the team they lead.-Embracing the concept that being a good manager now requires leadership skills, such as being kind, direct, developmental, and coaching team members to reach their full potential.Here are a few insightful quotes from the podcast:"Leading is just being kind and direct. Leading is being developmental and coaching. Leading is helping people be better than they, maybe themselves, even believe they can be.""People will cut a lot of corners for short-term gains, and you end up eroding the long-term sustainability of the team."

Instead of generic terms like "integrity," the idea is to find specific, resonant terms that truly represent the company's values, attracting the right kind of employees and repelling those who might not align with the company's mission.Advice for Entrepreneurs: There are multiple moments in the episode where Dave Kline offers advice to those building software businesses from the ground up. Key takeaways include the importance of staying true to one's values, understanding the difference between perceived limitations and actual ones, and ensuring the company's culture and values are clearly communicated and upheld.Codifying Your CultureIn the dynamic realm of SaaS, a company's culture isn't just an ethereal concept; it's the very backbone of sustainable growth, innovation, and team harmony. A strong, clearly defined culture guides decision-making, promotes consistency, and most importantly, fosters a sense of unity among the workforce. To not merely sustain but truly thrive, businesses must recognize the intrinsic value of their cultural DNA and make intentional efforts to nurture, articulate, and preserve it.Identify Core Values: Begin by understanding the foundational values that your company stands for. What principles drive decision-making? What ethical standards are non-negotiable? Establish these clearly.Document Company Stories: Historical anecdotes and tales of company milestones often carry the essence of the organizational spirit. Capture these stories; they serve as living testimonials of your culture.Consistent Communication: Whether it's through monthly meetings, newsletters, or casual chats, ensure that the cultural ethos is always a part of the conversation.Leadership Modeling: Leaders and managers should exemplify the cultural standards, acting as role models for the rest of the team.Hire and Train Accordingly: Seek out potential hires who align with your cultural values. During onboarding, place significant emphasis on culture to ensure new members understand and embody it.Feedback Loops: Regularly solicit feedback on how well the team feels the company is upholding its cultural tenets. This helps in real-time adjustments and reinforces the importance of culture.Celebrate Cultural Wins: Recognize and celebrate when team members or departments particularly embody the company culture, reinforcing its importance.In conclusion, while technological advancements and business strategies are pivotal, it's the unseen cultural threads that often weave the fabric of long-lasting organizational success. Codifying culture isn't about imposing a set of rules; it's about crystallizing what's already there, ensuring that as the company grows and evolves, its heart and soul remain intact.

BRT Game Night - The Saban Process + the History of the World Series w/ NYT National Baseball writer Tyler Kepner - BRT S03 EP52 (151) 10-16-2022   What We Learned This Week Business of Baseball Drafting Players to Analytics, & How the game has evolved   History of World Series – Game Changers - Did babe Ruth call his shot? The Process – Nick Saban's success formula to focus on the moment, and being more fundamental & sound for each play Sports Gambling – who are the big players in the industry from sports books to Casinos Chess Strategy – how to train the mind to make better decisions     Guests: TYLER KEPNER is the author of the New York Times bestseller K: A History of Baseball in Ten Pitches. He has covered every World Series game of the last two decades for The New York Times. He started his career as a teenager, interviewing players for a homemade magazine in the early 1990s. He attended Vanderbilt University on the Grantland Rice/Fred Russell sportswriting scholarship, then covered the Angels for the Riverside (Calif.) Press-Enterprise and the Mariners for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. He joined The New York Times in 2000, covering the Mets for two seasons, the Yankees for eight, and serving as the national baseball writer since 2010.  From the New York Times bestselling author of K: A History of Baseball in Ten Pitches, a highly entertaining, revelatory history of the World Series, filled with gripping behind-the-scenes stories from 117 years of the Fall Classic.  The World Series is the most enduring showcase in American team sports. It's the place where legends are made, where celebration and devastation can hinge on a fly ball off a foul pole or a grounder beneath a first baseman's glove. And there's no one better to bring this rich history to life than New York Times national baseball columnist Tyler Kepner, whose bestselling book about pitching, K, was lauded as “Michelangelo explaining the brush strokes on the Sistine Chapel” by Newsday. In seven scintillating chapters, Kepner delivers an indelible portrait of baseball's signature event. He digs deep for essential tales dating back to the beginning in 1903, adding insights from Hall of Famers like Reggie Jackson, Mike Schmidt, Jim Palmer, Dennis Eckersley and many others who have thrived – and failed – when it mattered most.  Why do some players, like Madison Bumgarner, Derek Jeter and David Ortiz, crave the pressure? How do players handle a dream that comes up short? What's it like to manage in the World Series, and what are the secrets of building a champion? Kepner celebrates unexpected heroes like Bill Wambsganss, who pulled off an unassisted triple play in 1920, probes the mysteries behind magic moments (Did Babe Ruth call his shot in 1932? How could Eckersley walk Mike Davis to get to Kirk Gibson in 1988?) and busts some long-time myths (the 1919 Reds were much better than the Black Sox, anyway).  The result is a vivid portrait of baseball at its finest and most intense, filled with humor, lore, analysis and fascinating stories. THE GRANDEST STAGE is the ultimate history of the World Series, the perfect gift for all the fans who feel their hearts pounding in the bottom of the ninth inning of Game Seven.    https://www.nytimes.com/by/tyler-kepner   @TylerKepner   https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/634030/the-grandest-stage-by-tyler-kepner/?ref=PRHC184D6440         Notes: Tyler Kepner wrote the grander stage the history of the World Series about baseballs October classic. Is the New York Times national baseball radar and has a background in being a bit writer for teams. He's originally from Philly. He was an intern at the Boston Globe and then the Washington post. Got a job out of college covering the Angels. Then got a job covering the Seattle Mariners for a newspaper in Seattle. In 2000 he got a job at the New York Times covering the mats for two years. Then he was covering the Yankees for eight years. 2010 he became the New York Times national baseball writer. Writing the book on the history of the World Series was a lifelong goal. He had written a previous book about pitching called K. The book was a three-year project to write. Tyler has covered 24 World Series dating back to 1998 as well as gone to two as a fan, 1983 series with the Phillies as a kid and then 1993. Tyler always follows good stories for his baseball writing. The 2022 baseball playoffs started in St. Louis to see about Albert polos last games. Then moved on to cover the New York Yankees. And then he's going to see the Seattle Mariners as they are in the playoffs for the first time in years. TV ratings for baseball have been decent. Still gets very good ratings in local markets. Baseball like other sports is still live programming and and they jam of TV. Sports creates appointment setting type TV. When you cover baseball as a rider, you will go to the ball park about 2 PM for a 7 PM game. He would mall around the stadium and clubhouse talk with players the manager may be the GM. Most days he's writing, with a deadline by the night time to be able to post by the next day. Player access in baseball is pretty open, it's an every day business and they give the media plenty of room to work. Tyler missed game seven of the 2001 World Series in Arizona versus the Yankees because of a family commitment. Baseball business as no hard salary cap, just some luxury taxes. It is expensive to build a team as you need free agents but also good scouting and player development. There's a lot of have and have Nots. Many of the smaller teams like the Oakland A's I've had player stolen by big teams like the Yankees or the Red Sox, almost acting like farm systems for the bigger teams. Baseball has changed over the years with the introduction of analytics and stats that now dominate the game. The teams that use at the best and can communicate the info to the players usually win. A great example of this is the GM of the Dodgers Andrew Friedman, who previously had been the GM of the Tampa Bay rays. Dodgers are well run team have a little bit of a small team mentality where they draft and develop players well, but also of the big resources and money to get the free agents. Teams have to convince the players how data will help their game. It isn't that hard since the new generation has been raised on their cell phones and data. The idea being a singing how are you can swing better, or what is a better pitch for a pitcher to use so that players can play well. Older guys in baseball lament the analytics and how it's changed the game. Amateur players understand how they have to do well on the metrics, and how hard they hit the ball, and swing playing in velocity. The older scouts and baseball people dislike the fact that it's not about moving the runner over in contact anymore. The game has evolved and the analytics and the data shows you what you need to do to win. Sports, including baseball is good for TV because it has live programming and people still watch live programming. Baseball games still may take longer but they still get OK national ratings and very good local ratings. Baseball is working on a little changes for more balls in the way and excitement. There is a lot of home runs and strikeouts right now. Baseball making some rule changes to affect us like regulating the shift and how the defense fields, changes to the baseball and maybe bigger bases to encourage base running aggressiveness in more stolen bases as examples. Billy Beane of Moneyball and the Oakland A's popularized baseball analytics and data. Been had a classic line I pay you to get on base, not to get caught stealing. No risky place. Tyler wanted to write World Series stories that people don't know. An example is what happened in the next game after Don Larsen throws a perfect game for the Dodgers. What happened to setup Kirk Gibson home run in 1988 vs As Tyler loves the art of pitching and the slider and the knuckleball. He had written a previous book K the history of baseball and 10 pitches. Did Babe Ruth call his shot? That is the legend, but it is not true. Babe Ruth told the Cubs he was going to do some thing, but did not point at offense. Back then the cubs pitchers would've thrown at Babe Ruth if he was showboating like that.     Seg 1: Nick Saban – The Process Head Coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide football team, has more than 250 wins, & 7 national titles   His coaching philosophy centers on a mental model called “process thinking” — or as he calls it: “The Process.” With links to behavioral psychology, process thinking is a framework that emphasizes preparation over the prize. Each step of a process is executed with diligence and precision, the desired outcome becomes all but inevitable. Nick Saban's was a the Coach at Michigan State University, where he created the Process with the help of a Psych professor named Dr. Lionel Rosen. The main idea was to win individual moments, can you be better than your opponent for 7 seconds (1 play). If your play is consistently better 7 seconds at a time, the score takes care of itself.   Saban's philosophy of practicing well, and operating within the Process system. He uses mental models to simplify the complex, and focus on the details.   Mental models are frameworks we use to examine problems, make decisions, and understand the world. As Farnam Street's Shane Parrish explains:   “Not only do they shape what we think and how we understand, but they shape the connections and opportunities that we see. Mental models are how we simplify complexity, why we consider some things more relevant than others, and how we reason.”   Train people (employees) to think within the system. You cannot have a system for all things. There will always be situations that arise that were not thought of, but systems and checklists will cover 80 – 90% of what employee will face. Look at the New England Patriots in sports – same coach (Bill Belichick), system, but different players for 15 years, and yet the same Super Bowl winning results. Alabama Head Coach Nick Saban (multiple college championships) is a big believer in systems and process. Saban also happens to be a former assistant of Belichick. Bill Walsh, the legendary football coach of the San Francisco 49ers created the west coast offense. It was all about the system, and timing of the passing game to setup the entire offense. Walsh was known for taking average Quarterbacks and producing above average results (and winning). Walsh was so organized he scripted the first 15 plays of the game. He created the idea of ‘situational football'. He had certain plays for certain moments within a game, like the last 2 minutes of a game, etc. Many teams copied the 49ers system, and this changed how the game was played in the late 1980s to even today's football. What is common today in football, did not exist before Walsh.   More on Saban and recruiting the best – Dave Kline telling a story of how Saban is a master recruiter. Football players can go somewhere else and play an Alabama 1x / year. Or they can go to Alabama and practice and play vs Alabama everyday. Over the long term the level of competition just on the team propels a player to greatness and the Pro level of the NFL.   Clips from BRT Management Accelerator w/ Dave Kline - BRT S03 EP44 (143) 9-11-2022   Guest: Dave Kline https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidkline/ https://maven.com/dave-kline/new-manager-accelerator Bio: (x-Bridgewater Associates, x-Moody's Analytics, x-PwC Consulting) has run large, global strategic and operational teams for the last 2 decades.

The average investor, it's tough to compete with big hedge funds, who have armies of people and data. Single investor really does not have those types of resources to compete. Single investor if they take the long term, get good at capital preservation and wait.   Full Show: HERE       Seg. 4:   Topic: AZ Legalized Sports Gambling  Adam Candee w/ Legal Sports Report https://www.legalsportsreport.com/arizona/ Clips from Seg 3 of 5/9/2021 Full Show: Here    AZ has just legalized sports gambling, and it is due to go live in the Fall of 2021 Adam Candee is a radio host and journalist who runs the top sports gambling info websites / podcast - Legal Sports Report (.com).

There are tons of free resources online for both kids and adults to learn online. Decision Making / Strategy – it's about making the Right Moves at the Critical Moments, possibly in the Middle Game and lots of pieces are being traded, so you should think longer at these moments. Life Analogy – there are many small decisions daily that have little impact on your life vs those Big Decisions that affect many areas of your life long term. Jennifer's Prep for a Game is: 1. getting focused, 2. taking a walk before a game (as she will be sitting for hours, and 3. not eating too much. The Sicilian is Jennifer's favorite opening. She likes classical chess vs speed chess. She describes herself as creative, and methodical in her chess moves.

Management Accelerator w/ Dave Kline - BRT S03 EP44 (143) 9-11-2022   What We Learned This Week How to Recruit, Manage & Delegate - Need to Set Expectations, the 'How' Find & Hire the Best Minds Vision of the Co. - Remove Friction to Get to the Result Faster   Guest: Dave Kline https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidkline/ https://maven.com/dave-kline/new-manager-accelerator     Bio: (x-Bridgewater Associates, x-Moody's Analytics, x-PwC Consulting) has run large, global strategic and operational teams for the last 2 decades. He has a BSEE from Bucknell University and an MBA from NYU's Stern School.

America - Bridgewater, NYU Stern, Moody's, PwC data, using tech, running large org, keeping plan in tact    Seg. 1 Dave background is in consulting. He worked at Moody's, they are rating services, for bonds and other financial products. Moody's has a mission statement and 10 principles. The move in financial services the last 10 years plus is into tech. Moody's had a very large AI department. Bridgewater was a client of Moody's, the Dave worked with, and eventually got a job with Bridgewater. Bridgewater is one of the largest hedge funds located in Connecticut. Their mission statement is principles through radical truth and radical transparency. They are a data-driven financial firm. Dave worked there for almost 10 years was the CEO of a department. Bridgewater was created by Ray Dalio and is one of the most unique organizations around. They are very big on data collection, and have their own internal set up which provides synthetic feedback about employees. Data or dots are collected on employees and it provides and receives feedback daily. Hedge funds compete with each other in financial markets it's a zero-sum game where you have to find out for in the market and when you make money, someone else loses money. Bridgewater had a culture built on dialogue where they would find and hire the best minds. Seg. 2 The machine of an organization is a combo of people and processes to get outcomes. You see what works, you measure and you get feedback. It's all about design, then test, then iterate. You want to determine what's predictive to become a system. In recruiting, difficult to determine a predictive pattern of ops. A new hire for the first six months is an expense. The next six months the new hire grows. After year one that's when you start to see returns on a new hire. Bridgewater is very good at taking a long view, and thinking and not only years but decades. The Bridgewater investing philosophy was on macro trends, fundamental basis, and long term. Long-term thinking also is part of their culture and processes. The average investor, it's tough to compete with big hedge funds, who have armies of people and data. Single investor really does not have those types of resources to compete. Single investor if they take the long term, get good at capital preservation and wait. Seg. 3 Entrepreneurship, you can either be a start up and create a business, or do growth by acquisition. This is pretty typically buying a business, or franchise (business idea). Dave wanted to go into entrepreneurship decided he wanted to teach. He knew that if he bought a business he could take the 10% they currently have take it up to 90%. His thinking was buying into a growing market, this turned out to be the digital space. What Dave teaches us how to recruit, how to manage, how to delegate, how to set expectations. Dave typically has three types of students, the ones that are new managers from 0 to 3 years. Second level is managers with 5 to 10 years experience, they've been faking it so now they need systems. The third group are founders and CEOs, have a business that's 20 to 200 size staff. These founders do not have a manager background need to learn the process. It's a four-week program, for they meet live two times a week, on Tuesday and Thursday at 11 in the morning. A Business study shows that 60% of managers will be fired within 18 months. Learning to manage and running a business is like getting a real-world MBA. School does not prepare you for this. These managers need more training hence they can go to Dave Kline's manager accelerator. What we think of managers, the idea that if you good at it you can also then manage people is false. So if you're a good software design are, does not mean you can manage people. It's the reverse, you don't have to be the best software designer, to be a good manager of the software team. Seg. 4 Determine the vision of the company, what's your mission? Design the company and recruit the types of people you want to work there. Remove fiction to get to the result faster. Good analogy is studying next say then, head coach of Alabama. Always talks about the process and having systems for everything you do. Also a master recruiter, really knows how to look for talent. Then knows how to sell them on playing at Alabama. Telling recruits were to win with or without you, but it will be better if you're there. Also the talk that since Alabama has so much talent you may or may not play. When it be better to know that even in practice you are competing against the best, prepares you for life and going pro. Sabin checks the character of all recruits, talks with seven people they know before he even talks of the recruit. This is like an example of recruiting businesspeople is doing your research and checking their references. Dave recommends that you hire short-term freelancers for a project first. See if they can complete and work through the project, then bring them on full-time. You want on board all recruits well. In month 1 they're working just to get comfortable and build trust. In 90 days you should really know if recruit will last long term. They shadow long term employees in month 2, learn and start their actual job. By month 3 they're doing the job on their own but with review. The key to delegation, is setting clear expectations. The ‘how' parameters you want an employee to work within. It's good to co-author the expectations with a team so people are involved. Problems usually occur at the distance between comparing reality with expectations. The work comes up front, you need to unlock potential of the people who work for you. This involves a plan and organization.       BRT Marketing: HERE   BRT Business: HERE   More - BRT Best of: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Best+Of     Thanks for Listening.
