Fabiana Mello Nossa convidada trabalhou muitos anos no mercado financeiro na área de TI. Tem Mestrado em Eng. De Software, POS em E-Business, MBA em empreendedorismo e inovação com extensão em Stanford. Também tem Formação em Coach no Instituto ECO Social e é Facilitadora de workshops licenciada pela Happy Melly em Gestão 3.0. Vale muito conferir o que a Fabiana trouxe para compartilhar com a gente.

In this new episode of IseeQ’s TechTalk series, Péter Váradi Engineering Manager at IBM and Jurgen Appelo CEO at Happy Melly talk all about agile transformation, change management and how innovation plays a critical role in every company’s life, with some hands-on tips and tricks on how the workforce can be motivated.

Former co-host of this show Lisette will be familiar to long-term listeners, who might have wondered where she’d got to – well, wonder no more! She was busy writing “Work Together Anywhere”, which gave us a great excuse to catch up in our featured segment today. And don’t forget to join us over on twitter (@PilarOrti or @Virtualteamw0rk), where one discussion this week has been all about what we call that bit on the screen where our colleague’s head appears. Not as obvious as it sounds! Can you add any suggestions? https://twitter.com/PilarOrti/status/1053025198188965891 Speaking of social media, we were so happy to be included in Geoff Watts’ video about his top 10 agile podcasts – he’s a great entertaining Youtuber and podcaster, and we’re in some great company here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYYxiqUdpp0&feature=youtu.be      The Voice Behind The Book: Lisette Sutherland, author of Work Together Anywhere   It’s been a long time since we had a ‘virtual coffee’ with Lisette, so this was a great trip down memory lane for us both!  We don’t always have this degree of intimacy with our interviewees, at least not to the extent that they admit they started writing their book as an excuse to talk to people who might hire them for a job…  But the director of Collaboration Superpowers soon realised there was a genuine demand for a practical ‘how to’ handbook, to underpin the workshops they delivered. Written over a span of 5 years in the end, the book project morphed from a neon coffee table design vision to a practical, highly-navigable and structured guide, to help readers solve their own problems by being able to find the information they need most in the moment. Lisette’s insight into the collaboration process with her designer and editor will be valuable to anyone embarking on challenge of bringing a book into the world. As well as the practical stuff, Lisette’s work with Happy Melly (and long-term quest for aligning work and personal fulfillment) helps keep the focus on why working flexibly and remotely is so rewarding. In her extensive career helping teams work better together online, she’s seen some changes, including improved acceptance and technology – but sees that there is still a long way to go, and lots of work to do.   But she also reminds us that nothing beats a direct conversation, when working remotely. We shouldn’t be afraid to get on a call – or to try something completely new and different. There are so many blended and creative ways to communicate now, from video messages to picking up the phone, so don’t think about a dichotomy between text and ‘real’ connectivity. Above all Lisette reminds us to keep learning, stay humble, and continually evolve our practice and mindset – so our work can stay fresh and at its best. However many years of remote work experience we might have, we can still grow and develop. We never said remote was easy – but work in general isn’t easy.  With the right tactics and information, we can make it better. And there is no universal formula or single right way of doing this stuff. Personalities, energies and motivations combine differently on every team, however they are located.  As well as the book, you can enjoy Lisette’s podcast https://www.collaborationsuperpowers.com/podcasts/ (and don’t forget our own archives, talking to Lisette, through to the end of 2017!)   Recommended Tool: Loom A powerful way to share little videos, recording your screen in real time along with narration – and it’s a great way to share learning and ideas in remote teams.  It’s available as a chrome plugin, free, and super-easy to share and distribute. There’s no need for an account to view the videos – in fact you can see one right here https://www.useloom.com/share/91a03bf43a0a49908368e3b1bc0530f7 Wellbeing: Are you a Lark or an Owl?  It’s been a while, and we should not take wellbeing in remote work for granted.  And today Maya and Pilar reflect upon is the tradition of the ‘work day’, and how we can still end up following a habit from the industrial revolution… Could we be more productive, fulfilled and effective, by listening to our own energy levels and circadian rhythms? We talk a lot about the tools we have to collaborate asynchronously with colleagues in different time zones, so perhaps we could use them to work more flexibly with each other, and ourselves? To create a culture where we share stuff like ‘I am going for a walk to clear my head’ or, have a special Slack status to signify a siesta?   Team leaders can take the initiative and make sure that true temporal flexibility is part of your “work day”.      

One-on-one meetings should not be used for a status update, rather to uncover problems. CEO of Know Your Company, Claire Lew, talks candidly with Happy Melly about what it takes to be a better manager and a more honest, open and communicative leader. She also explains why buying a book about what to do with her life at the age of 13 helped her get to where she is today. For more happiness, visit www.management30.com.

There are some questions we ask ourselves when designing our physical collaboration space. We can use most of these questions to design our online collaboration space too. visit www.virtualnotdistant.com Pilar attended this event: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/experimenting-with-workspace-an-interactive-experience-tickets-41004688126# The importance of the location of toilets in the workplace https://workdesign.com/2016/03/why-restrooms-matter-in-the-workplace/ Culture What’s the culture like in your organisation? Competitive, collaborative? Will you design the workspace to support this or to challenge it? Identity What can you do to remind people they belong to your organisation/team when they log onto the workspace? Check out this episode about How Zappos Lives its Culture, in the Happy Melly podcast https://www.happymelly.com/zappos-lives-its-culture/ Do We Need to Keep People Together or Keep them Apart? Do you need spaces where people can mingle and bump into each other? The coffee machine as an “attractor”. Google Docs and Trello are places where people can “bump into each other” when they’re doing the work. Some final questions for you: What’s your culture like, competitive, collaborative, something in between and what’s the use of the space encouraging? How do you make the digital space unique to your organisation or team? Have you got spaces where people can feel connected to each other and spaces where they can feel they have sole ownership of their work? Have you got places where people can bump into each other and feel connected to other people through the work?

There are many ways of learning from others in our remote team: through asking for feedback and running activities where we can learn from each other. visit www.virtualnotdistant.com A few updates: Lisette is looking for beta readers and there will be a range of ways in which to give her feedback on her book. To do so, sign up to her newsletter: https://www.collaborationsuperpowers.com/ Why are companies still asking people to work from home without providing them with the support they need? Are there two “camps” of organisations working with remote teams: those that have been doing it for decades (and will not change their ways) and those making the transition who can see the potential of integrating a wide range of tech into their communications. The main conversation: Asking for feedback. Lisette shares how she’s gathering feedback on her TedX Talk. The kind of questions / directions we can use when asking for feedback. Using Google Docs to gather feedback and turn it into a conversation. Latte and Learn sessions. https://www.virtualnotdistant.com/blog/learning-remote-teams Learning from each other asynchronously. Happy Melly’s weekly challenge. Using online apps/tools to capture thoughts as they come – and then sharing them so that others can build on them. We are really talking here about building a learning culture, so that people get used to trying things out, sharing their experiences and focusing on improvement. Nurturing curiosity – it’s something that can be developed given the time, space and structure. And encouragement, of course…

We talk about this episode of The Future of Work https://thefutureorganization.com/diversity-inclusiveness-important-today-tomorrow/ noticing that EY is extending flexible work to the whole of their workforce.

I was recently interviewed by Elizabeth Plouffe on her Across the Desk podcast. This is a re-broadcast of her podcast! In this episode we talk about the Happy Melly ecosystem is helping people understand the importance of workplace happiness, how we can focus on understanding what in our system is affected when we want to introduce change and more! We also talk about the upcoming Happy Melly Exploration Day which is the first in-person Happy Melly event worldwide! The Lean Change Management podcast will be back in 2017 while I focus on other stuff for the remainder of 2016.

I am a change management neophyte. Enthusiastic and firmly converted but a neophyte none the less. With Happy Melly Exploration Day coming up on October 19th, I thought it best to bring someone on Across the Desk who has more experience than me. Meet Hazel van der Werken. Since being involved with lean practices in Scotland in 1995 and adding change management in 2009 in the Netherlands, Hazel arrived in Canada in 2013 and found Silicon Halton. Thank goodness because it was through Silicon Halton that Hazel found Spark the Change Toronto where we met in 2015. While Hazel is unable to be at the Happy Melly event next week due to a work trip, she's a staunch advocate for all levels of an organization regardless of industry taking advantage of the Happy Melly Exploration Day. Why? Because Hazel is all about the right tools for the job and Happy Melly has a toolbox that will blow your mind. www.happymellyexplorationday.com

If, like me, you've worked for organizations for years and thought it was all in your head, I'm here to tell you that you're wrong. That vague feeling that something is off all the way down to full mental breakdowns because the boss is batshit crazy. That feeling that it's always going to be this way and nothing will ever change. The feeling that you can never be happy at work and just have to accept it. WRONG! It took me over 20 years and a chance meeting to discover how wrong I was and how many people are working to change it. Three years ago I was introduced to the world of agile and change management. I'm still learning what all that entails but what I did learn in a big way is that there are tools, experts, coaches and more to help organizations not suck. To help employees learn how to make things better. To help bosses, managers and supervisors find the way to the light that shows them communicating with their employees doesn't have to include condescension, fear and ego. How? One way is Happy Melly. You can learn more about HM during the podcast but what I also want to put out there is the first EVER face to face Happy Melly Exploration Day.

Management, Business, Relationships, Happiness, Leadership   Summary   Managers can create the framework from which its team members--and its business--can thrive … or not. We'll discuss that in our Thought of the Day. And later in our interview segment, we learn from Holland's own leadership and management authority, Jurgen Appelo. He'll discuss the concept of managing for happiness, which also happens to be the name of his great new book. That and more on today's show. Bob's Thought of the Day   You'll discover:   The surprising reality is that many company leaders and managers don't create positive work environments, despite abundant research that shows why it's so important. The famous piece of advice from Ken Blanchard & Spencer Johnson's classic, The One-Minute Manager that can make a big difference in employee morale. Why taking care of your employees results in your employees taking care of the bottom line.   Interview with Jurgen Appelo   You'll discover:   Jurgen expanding on two key quotes: "The mindless adherence to rules, combined with a steady loss of principles, is always a prelude to bureaucracy," and "With a complex system there is no such thing as central control." Jurgen's explanation of the difference between leadership and management. The meaning of Jurgen's business name “Happy Melly,” and why people remember stories instead of facts or bullet points. Why intrinsic motivation is more valuable than extrinsic motivation … but you still need both. Why a motivated worker is not necessary an engaged worker.

About This Week's Guest Lisette Sutherland Lisette is the Director at CollaborationSuperpowers.com, a company that helps teams work together from anywhere. She is also a Funder of Happy Melly, a company helping to globalize companies that are improving the lives of knowledge workers. With over 10 years experience with web-based collaboration tools and online community management, her goal is to get the best people working together regardless of location. Her three tips to become more culturally competent are: Slow down. Ask what you don't know. Although you might not know what you don't know (a blind spot) still ask questions and more questions. When working virtually, you can create a Holiday Calendar. Holidays are important in every country and this way you can find out more about the other culture by asking why the holiday is and how it is celebrated. Create a "Personal Map"; like a mind map, but then you put your name in the middle. Around your name, you write things about yourself. But you don't explain it yourself, you let your virtual team members ask what they see. This is a great way to get to know each other and do virtual team building. Create a virtual water cooler or  "Kitty talk" (this is explained in the podcast). This means that you simply pick a time when you all meet online and just chat. Not about work per se. This can be about everything.
