Few people stand out as a loud innovator as Jay Goldman in the technology and design space. Not only is he a New York Times best-selling author of The Decoded Company, but he also proudly wears the hats of a Forbes Technology and HBR Advisory Council Member. As the Co-Founder and CEO of Sensei Labs, Jay embodies the intersection of leadership, design, and technology. His passion for reimagining the Future of Work shines through not just in his leadership at Sensei Labs but also in his extensive writings and speaking engagements. From contributing to the Harvard Business Review to enlightening audiences at TEDx and NAS, Jay's insights into the ever-evolving workplace landscape are nothing short of visionary. MINDSET SHIFTS One of the topics I often dwell upon, perhaps to the point of redundancy, is the idea of the mindset shift. Yet, every time I bring it up, the resonance it generates is palpable. The crux of my narrative revolves around the transition from one state of business to another, and the psychological adaptations that go hand-in-hand. Many of us understand the leap from being an employee to becoming an entrepreneur, but the transition doesn't stop there. Stepping up from an entrepreneur to a dealmaker is an evolution in itself. The ability to harness the power of strategic business alliances and mergers is a skill many entrepreneurs don't possess, even if they've successfully built their business from the ground up. THE TRAJECTORY OF AI IN THE WORKPLACE One of Jay's remarks struck a chord with me. He mentioned Mark Andreessen's famous assertion that "software is eating the world." In today's age, especially with the dawn of AI, this statement holds more truth than ever. Interestingly, AI's trajectory hasn't panned out as most had anticipated. Two years ago, the mainstream view was that AI would replace manual, repetitive jobs. Yet, tasks like truck driving, which were expected to be easily automated, remain challenging. On the other hand, areas once deemed safe havens for human intellect, like content creation, have seen AI make significant inroads. IT'S NOT ALL DOOM AND GLOOM The crucial takeaway from this evolution isn't just the changing job landscape or the advent of new roles: The heart of the matter is adaptability. In any industrial revolution or technological leap, some jobs inevitably become obsolete. Still, history shows us that new roles emerge to replace them. It's not about fearing change but adapting to it and leveraging it to one's advantage. While it's tempting to get caught up in the whirlwind of doom and gloom prophecies about AI replacing jobs, history offers a more balanced perspective. The transition might not always be easy, but the adaptable always find a way to thrive. It's never as black and white as it seems. There's always a silver lining, a new opportunity, a new role waiting just around the corner. It's up to us to seize it.

If you're looking at it from an enterprise value perspective, you have an asset as part of our portfolio, and paid $10 million for it. Then your goal should be to exit it at a multiple, say 30, 40, or 50 million dollars. This means you'll have to create some enterprise value before exiting that asset. Jay adds that value creation is no longer associated with firing people. Much has changed, and now more PE firms are determined to create value. Today, PE firms are focused on building better businesses by growing their ability to produce revenue, built on acquisitions, geographic expansion, repricing, or new product lines. However, this is not to say that cost reduction is not essential because it will always be a factor in almost every value-creation plan.

Jay Goldman is a New York Times best-selling author of “The Decoded Company.” He is also the CEO and Co-founder of Sensei Labs - focused on technology, design, and the art of leadership. The conversation in this episode covers decision-making, connections, the six values of Sensei culture, and putting customers first. Jay urges leaders to have regular conversations with employees and use data to understand them better. Jay considers empathy to be the most important trait of a leader and he elaborates on its importance.https://bit.ly/TLP-342   Key Takeaways [2:34] Jay has a 13-year-old daughter and a 12-year-old son. For Jay, parenting and leadership are very close; he uses some of the same principles with his children and in his one-on-one work discussions. [3:39] The book, The Decoded Company, was published in 2014. In the years since then, the world has changed a lot. Much of the book is still relevant, but in hindsight, Jay says they should have put more emphasis on culture. It should be a headline item. That has become more true as Jay continues to grow Sensei Labs, which was spun out of Klick to capitalize on the technology they talk about in the book. [5:34] Jay compares a company's culture to a garden. The leader makes sure the garden gets enough sunlight, water, and nutrients, weeds the garden and protects it from pests. Leaders can't directly make the garden grow. They can create all the right conditions for it to grow. If you want certain behaviors, create an environment that encourages those behaviors. It's dangerous to try to fix people. [8:16] There are more small decisions than big decisions. Your physical space in an office has a big impact on culture. It's hard to radically change your office space. Day-to-day moments can have just as big an impact. There are many times more of them than there are of the big decisions. Big decisions need to be followed up with lots of small decisions. [10:52] When COVID-19 hit, Sensei Labs was still within the offices of their parent company, Klick. Klick allowed them to stop paying rent, which was very helpful for a small business. In the summer of 2021, as COVID-19 was letting up, Sensei Labs discussed as a team if they needed to take an office. The Toronto group was missing the moments of connectivity, collaboration, and having lunch together. [12:13] After funding, Sensei Labs had almost doubled in size. International associates had never worked in an office together but they wanted the connection shared by the Toronto group. Sensei Group built an office with collaboration rooms but no private offices, desks for everyone there on a day, and multi-use spaces for large meetings and holiday parties. They are not mandating people back to the office. [15:04] Sensei Labs doesn't say “remote” for people outside the office. Teams pick a day to come in together. They use Teams calls for those who cannot attend that day. They also use Teams calls on cross-team meetings or customer meetings. All meeting rooms are set up for Teams, with good microphones, audio, cameras, and video. Sensei Labs is all hybrid, rather than divided into tiers. [16:21] All “hoteling” desks have a proper monitor and Logitech webcam. There is an events space with a screen that rolls down from the ceiling, a webcam, a projector, and an audio system, so people not present can have the full experience of partaking in the event. There are multiple presenters, some in the building, and some participating by video. All these things help integrate the teams. [17:30] All of that said, you can't replace the in-person experience, or going out for a coffee or lunch together. Jay loves to see a cross-functional group who have carried in lunch and are eating together. Those are collisions, as Steve Jobs called them, where you get an exchange of ideas and connections between different teams that wouldn't otherwise form. Those are hard to recreate on Teams or Slack. [18:50] At Sensei Labs, there is a big emphasis on helping each other in a culture where that's rewarded and recognized. The founders were intentional when they carved Sensei Labs out of Klick to build a culture that was unique to Sensei Labs, built around Enterprise SaaS, customers, and partners. [20:28] As they started, they came up with six values that represent Sensei culture: being Selfless, being Empathetic, being Nimble, being Skilled, being Entrepreneurial, and having Integrity. They built everything they do on the people side of the business around those Sensei values. They have a matrix of every role in the organization with the values, and observable behaviors expected from each role. [21:23] The matrix also shows how to get promoted in terms of what you should be thinking about in observable behaviors for each of the Sensei values for any role. When Sensei Labs does promotions, they evaluate on the Sensei values. The Sensei values are part of their open recognition channel in Teams. Everyone can post recognitions of others and tag them with Sensei values. It's all intentional. [22:32] Over the last year, Sensei Labs has strongly emphasized CARE requests. Sensei President Benji Nadler came up with the acronym CARE, for Customers Are Really Everything, to reorient everyone's thinking about customer requests to make them the highest priority. [24:08] An organization that does not give its people regular feedback about results is doing its people a disservice and will not get the results that it wants. In The Decoded Company, there is the Rule of Five Degrees. If you take a boat across a lake, and you're five degrees off course at the start, it's an easy correction then. But five degrees off course on the other side of the lake could be miles out of the way. [25:05] If an organization gives performance reviews annually, it's already crossed the lake. Regular five-degree course corrections throughout the year could prevent an employee from being miles off course at the performance review. Regular feedback corrects behaviors and bridges the gap between behaviors. [26:18] As a privately-held company, Sensei Labs is free to make long-term decisions. Jay picks values even over performance because, in the end, that will have the biggest impact on the business. Staying true to those values will affect whom they hire. [28:14] Sensei Labs operates as a separate organization from Klick and the Sensei teams do not work on Klick's projects. Sensei is proudly part of the Klick group of companies but there is no need for a tight alignment between the two. There is an overlap in how the two companies express and define their values. Klick has a pyramid of cultural values with the bottom level being their foundational values. [29:00] Jay describes how the layers of the Klick value pyramid match the key inflection points of career advancement. Sensei used the best parts of the Klick values in developing the Sensei Labs values acronym. Sensei looks at the key inflection points of the first time an individual contributor becomes a leader, and the first time a leader becomes a leader of leaders. Those points require different thinking. [30:54] Leadership has a science component. The science of leadership goes back to Taylorism measuring productivity with a stopwatch and optimizing the Ford assembly lines. There's the possible Hawthorne effect of performance rising because it is measured. The science is how you use the data within an organization to optimize it for talent, centricity, and engagement, the premise of Decoded. [31:48] Jay explains how leadership is an art, requiring a high degree of empathy. You need to be able to understand the individual members of your team and what drives them. Jay values empathy as the most important trait of leadership. Empathy requires engagement, conversations, and knowing each other. It requires some vulnerable moments that establish psychological safety between you and your team. [34:30] People learned hard skills in school and had to figure out the soft skills for themselves. It dodges the responsibility for teaching the part of leadership that is probably more impactful. Jay explores the mistake technology companies often make in promoting engineers into managerial roles with no EQ or managerial skills. That mistake removes a skilled individual contributor and installs an ineffectual leader. [36:54] Instead, create a pathway that allows skilled engineers to remain in their craft but to become leaders, take on more responsibility, and make more money. Both Sensei Labs and Klick have parallel tracks for people leadership and craft leadership. As individuals advance, their time is leveraged so that an hour of their time creates more than an hour of value for the organization. [39:54] The use of Big Data has changed immensely since Decoded was published. The principle is the same, but if they wrote the book today, their take would be very different. Data is more prevalent in business today. [40:20] Most businesses today spend huge amounts on data to understand their customers. They do not use any of the same resources to understand their people. Jay argues that you will have a higher leverage effect by engaging in your team, creating a virtuous cycle of having the best talent on your teams, more customer happiness, more revenue, and hiring even more skilled team members. [42:03] There is a difference between ambient data and self-reported data. Self-reported data is always biased. Teams constantly use tools and that creates a digital body language about what they are working on and who they're connected with and other factors. That data is available through analysis. Jay calls this data a sixth sense. Have guidelines about using the data, so it's not uncomfortable. [43:35] There has been good research on 16 indicators that somebody may be thinking about quitting their job. If you could look across those 16 relative attributes of an employee, “Jim”, you could see changes that indicate that something has changed in ”Jim's” life. Measuring a baseline and looking ad deviations can be telling. How do you react if you suspect “Jim” is thinking of leaving? [45:18] If “Jim,” is a valued member of your team, and you want to make sure that “Jim” is not a flight risk, this might be an indicator to have a conversation. “Just checking in and making sure that everything's OK. How are you feeling? Can we talk about a career progression or a new project for you to take on?” If you are happy that “Jim” is thinking of leaving, you might start looking at replacements! [46:13] You've got five senses. If you can use data as a sixth sense, to augment those five with an extra set of analytic abilities to help you make better decisions faster, that leads to a better outcome. [47:40] Can this ambient data be hacked? Jay would hope people worked in an environment where they didn't have to prompt the conversation by wearing an interview suit to work. Every organization is a collection of people. Anytime you have a collection of people, you end up with norms and values, whether by design or default. Sometimes you may find shortcuts to get to a desired conversation. [48:38] Mark Raheja taught Jay a management hack in the form of the question, “Is it safe to try?” In most organizations the default is safety. Proposing anything radical means a fight to get to the point of experimenting with it because you are triggering the organization's autoimmune system. But ask people to come up with a reason it's not safe to try it. If they cannot, then go ahead with the experiment. [51:19] After six months in his first job out of school at IBM, Jay asked about promotions. His manager told him everybody gets promoted on their first and second anniversary, and in the third year, promotions are earned by merit. Jay recalls, “I started looking for a job that day. And to me, that is the oldest-school thought pattern around what management looks like.” [55:19] Closing quote: Remember, “Leadership is unlocking people's potential to become better.” — Bill Bradley   Quotable Quotes “Often in a parenting conversation with one of the kids, I'm repeating things that I might have recently said in a one-on-one to someone on my team, and probably more often, in one-on-ones, I find myself repeating things I've said in parenting moments.” “It starts to get difficult when you start to say, ‘I want behaviors that I don't see and my options are either to replace people or fix people,' and I think that's a dangerous path.” “Your physical space in an office environment has a big impact on culture. … It's harder to … radically change the configuration of it. … All those day-to-day moments can have just as big an impact and there are many times more of them than there are of the big decisions.” “In many ways, we are the trailblazers who are out ahead, thinking about culture, thinking about people, and thinking about leadership. And then, there are other places where we're happy to take a back seat and one of those places is mandating people back to the office.”  “We have a matrix of every role in the organization and all of the values … that everyone has access to. So you can look up any role, and any value, and see what the observable behaviors are that we expect out of that role as well as where you might get promoted to.” “We have an open recognition channel in Teams. Everyone can post recognitions of each other. They tag them with some of the values. … At our Town Hall a couple of weeks ago, we celebrated the people who've had the most recognition posts for each of the values.” “Being selfless is about being there for each other and helping each other out and helping our customers and partners as well. These are both internal and external.” “We have the luxury of being able to make long-term decisions when we can and so I would pick values even over performance because, in the end, that is what is going to have the biggest impact on the business. Staying true to those values will affect who you hire.” “We have always looked at the key inflection points of the first time an individual contributor becomes a leader and then the first time they become a leader of leaders. Those are two points at which you have to think very differently about … your success.” “Your best engineers are at least 10 times as good as your worst engineers.” “Anytime you have a collection of people, you end up with norms in that group. You end up with cultural values, whether by design or default.” “In most organizations, the default energy is toward ‘No” and toward safety. … If you propose something radical and new, in almost every organization, you are going to have to fight a fight to get to the point where you can even experiment with this. … Ask ‘Is it safe to try?'” “I do think the tech industry has lots of problems, but it also has lots of great things about it.”    Resources Mentioned Theleadershippodcast.com Sponsored by: Darley.com Rafti Advisors.

That to me is minimal lovable product. That's where you get passionate champions who are going to push this within their own companies.

There are many challenges startups face when they try to spin out of another company, especially when they have a product that wasn't initially built for commercial use. However, it's possible to find success in these kinds of situations. Toronto-based startup Sensei Labs is a living example of that. They offer an enterprise orchestration platform that spun out of a parent organization called Klick Health and are finding success all on their own. Sensei Labs co-founder and CEO Jay Goldman joined the Midstage Startup Momentum Podcast with Roland Siebelink this week to talk about the challenges and triumphs his company has experienced in this situation. Jay offered many key learnings that can be applied to startups in all industries and all situations. How Sensei Labs was born out of a book. The challenges that await when turning a proprietary software into a commercial product. The headwinds and tailwinds that become possible in a spin-out startup. Why Sensei Labs started its go-to-market with a partner channel. What startups should keep in mind when customers ask for exclusivity. What a carve-out startup should focus on during its first year after spinning out from its parent organization.

Jay chats to me about the need for speed in our organisations and in our leadership especially as the global pandemic was a ‘forcing function' that delivered 10 years of digital transformation in just 2 years.A successful company exists within a virtuous cycle of being able to find and attract the best people which creates an environment that allows them to do their best work, which delivers products and services that are loved by customers, which leads to more revenues and funding to attract more talent.  We also talk about Minimal Loveable Products and how behaviours of both employees and customers have changed which therefore requires leaders to continue to challenge and rewire norms in the workplace and beyond. Jay also provides some great advice as to how a leader can approach decision making in ambiguity by separating decisions that are ‘one way' doors from those that have ‘two way' doors.  Don't miss this episode.

We offer this in-between option. - Mark Goh We use data and a level of precision that's not widely available in designing construction, and it's really taken the same methodology that Jay would use running Sensei.

Permission to Speak Podcast. Hosted by Leadership Communications Expert Kelly Vandever. Episode #32 - Jay Goldman - Part 2. Permission to Speak is the video blog and podcast that loiters at the intersections of leaders who want their people to speak up, technology that facilitates connections, and results that serve an organization’s higher purpose. Topics covered in this episode include: - The New York Times best selling book, The Decoded Company - Three characteristics of a decoded company are (1) technology as a coach and trainer (2) data as sixth sense and (3) engineered ecosystems - Accelerating tenure - The idea behind tech as a coach is “How can you make everyone on your team as good as they can be?” - Interviewing skills as an example of how to use data to be a better interviewer - For example, Klick has used data to see who is really good at picking future rock stars for the organization and those how have a high rate of rejecting people who later turn out to be high performers. Then the system can deliver training to help those not good at interviewing become better. - Instead of a system that yells at you as a referee, decoded companies use data to whisper in your ear to coach and train you to be even more successful - One way to question the status quo in your organization is to challenge new hires to poke holes in your assumptions - Adopt an attitude of “safe to try” as a way to fight organizational antibodies that block innovation because it’s different than we’ve always done things. Don’t test the idea based on whether it’s a good or bad idea but is it safe to try. - Be willing to experiment adopting this attitude of “safe to try” - Data literacy is becoming more and more important to organizations - Data as a sixth sense is bringing that data literacy into all parts of the organization - But you still need to question the data. Don’t ignore your gut instincts. - Data as a sixth sense is about getting data to make better decisions - UPS example of experimenting to see the best way to use their Orion system, comparing instinct and experience only, to exclusively following the system, or using the both. Use the system to augment what you know and be flexible to ignore when you see things on the ground that wouldn’t be known by the system. - Be sensitive to the fact that there’s some job insecurity when you start using data as a sixth sense or adding automation - Transparency in data so you can see are there issues with the financials on a project, is there a risk of burnout, etc. - Unconscious bias & Harvard’s study on unconscious bias - Most organizations grow a culture without being intentional about it - Culture in many ways is shaped top down - The importance of being intentional about hiring, even very early in the life of a start up - Space as an indication of culture - Even the military isn’t on a strict command-and-control environment - Dunbar’s number - Klick has divided themselves into teams of 150 or less to keep the benefits and agility of a smaller organization - Valve Software company as an example of a flat organization & the Valve employee handbook - High growth companies engineering their own ecosystems - How SenseiOS has helped high growth companies transform their businesses, and caused some to say, “I don’t know how we ran our company without it!” - Questions Answered: - Can I use data to run my company better? - How can I use data in my organization? - How can I be a better interviewer? - How do I maintain a small company culture when I’m growing fast? - How can we be transparent with data? - How can we create a better work culture? - How can we use data to make better business decisions? - How can I use data better? - How can I increase innovation in my organization?

Segal is the president and CEO of Klick Health (a well-known healthcare marketing agency) that is both well-recognized for their client work as well as being an "e-mail free" work environment. Harfoush is a technology and media author, speaker and thinker who is best known for her book, Yes We Did: An Insider's Look at How Social Media Built the Obama. Along with two other Klick team members (Jay Goldman and Aaron Goldstein), they are hoping to encourage other businesses to rethink what the workplace of today can look like in order to create a place where companies know their own people better than they know their consumers. It's big, it's bold and it's thrilling. Enjoy the conversation...  Here it is: Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast - Episode #398 - Host: Mitch Joel. Running time: 52:46.
