In the second of our podcasts with Matthew Stibbe, Yiuwin Tsang delves into what it means to be a truly remote working team and how this has allowed Articulate Marketing to establish a unique employee culture despite them being spread throughout the UK. Their remote working principles have also allowed Articulate Marketing to strive for net zero status, a process that is very rigorous, but which Matthew feels all businesses have a responsibility to at least consider and work towards. In the podcast, Matthew shares his top tips for going on the net zero journey as well as the pros and cons of setting up a remote working environment for his agency.

Matthew: There's another thing that I think is really valuable for recognition, right? We have on our Slack, we have a validation channel. And what that is for is peer-to-peer recognition of people who are living up to the values. So it's not top-down, although sometimes managers do it, it's one another recognizing and it costs nothing. There's no cash value. But my goodness, I know for myself when somebody goes, Matthew did this and I think it's a really I feel quite proud and that recognition and as a manager offering that kind of recognition and validation is also critical. It's not only about money, it's about validation and recognition. I just wanted to everything I've talked about has been money based. And I want to say there's more than money. Sean: No, that is amazing. I 100% agree with that. We practice this as well. In SEO hacker, we have around 40 plus people in the team, and at every town hall meeting we have our clap session because we go to the office three times a week, Tuesdays to Thursdays, and on Tuesdays, we have the town hall meeting. And in that clap sessions, every person in the room gets a chance to say, I want to give claps to so-and-so because he or she did this and that. So I love it being live for me. I'm an office guy. I'm a face-to-face guy. You know, I've worked we work remotely for two years, from 2020 to 2022. So this year, April is when we started coming back to the office. But I find that it's it's completely different, and more effective for me at least as a leader if it's face-to-face. So we have three days a week going to the office. And I completely agree with what you're doing 100%. And I wish more leaders in the world would do the same. Matthew: I'm going to borrow that idea clap session. I like that. Yeah. Sean: Yes, that is what we do. Every time someone says something good about someone, we clap our hands and make sure that that person is recognized. - - - Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/leadershipstack Join our community and ask questions here: from.sean.si/discord Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/leadershipstack Leadership Stack Merch: https://leadershipstack.com/shop/ - - - Matthew Stibbe Website: https://www.stibbe.net/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewstibbe
Sean: So what are some of the things that you have come up with? Maybe a system, or perhaps it's a set of principles to form an intentional culture that you would like to work in. Matthew: So what levers have you got to manage all of that? Things that have worked for me, had as the company, as articulate marketing grew 5 people, 10 people, 15 people. I brought in external expert consultant-type people who are very, very good at working with a team and then helping them express what they think is valuable about the company. Express what they think the culture is, both as it is and a little aspirationally. And I learned from doing that. So we would have company meetings where we would talk about culture for a day or two, moderated and guided by a professional. And I learned there that you don't want to just import someone else's culture, right? You don't go to the Netflix culture guide or the HubSpot culture guide. These things are floating around on the Internet. They're really interesting to look at. But don't just go right - we're going to have Netflix as culture because it doesn't work. All you're doing is borrowing the form and not the substance. The culture of the business, especially in the early days, kind of emanates from the personality of the founder. And there comes a time, as you as the business grows, where the personality, the decision making, the charisma, or in my case, lack of it, you know, of the personality of the leader slightly separates from the business. As that happens, as it stops being me and as I change and as the business changes, what's worth keeping, what's worth changing? So there's this other thing that's going on, an exciting but difficult challenge, which is - what do I like? What do I want to do? Now, not as a founder, but as a leader? What do I do with that? Where do I want to go? What is important about my input to the culture as distinct from the input of everyone else, arbitrating the bits that are important to you and the bits that you're willing to democratize is really important. How do you share the responsibility in the ownership and the authority for doing that? - - - Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/leadershipstack Join our community and ask questions here: from.sean.si/discord Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/leadershipstack Leadership Stack Merch: https://leadershipstack.com/shop/ - - - Matthew Stibbe Website: https://www.stibbe.net/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewstibbe

A SEAT at THE TABLE: Leadership, Innovation & Vision for a New Era
One of the biggest marketing challenges that B2B companies face is differentiating themselves from their competitors.Unfortunately, most companies think the best strategy is to make themselves look as much like everyone else - or as much like the market leaders - as possible.Their website adopts a similar look. Their logo follows the same style. Promotional material looks like what everyone else is doing.The thinking is that what works for one will work for all. The reality is that customers see a group of companies that all look that same - and so you don't stand out or catch their attention. It makes it very difficult for customers to see why they should take the time to see what you offer.But can you really take a product or service that seems more like a commodity than a one-of-a-kind and make customers see it as not only different - but maybe even better?I'm Jane Singer and thank you for joining me and being part of our international community that now spans over 100 countries. Today I'm speaking with Matthew Stibbe, CEO at Articulate Marketing, a UK marketing agency specializing in the technology sector. He's created marketing strategies, content and campaigns for clients including Microsoft, Google and HP.Before that he founded and was CEO at Intelligent Games, a 70-person computer games company where he designed games for LEGO and produced two games based on Dune.Even if you are not a technology company, Matthew offers a lot of best practices that are applicable to any B2B company.In this episode Matthew talks about:1. How using an educational approach can differentiate your product in the market.2. Turning your company website into a lead generating machine.3. How a B2B company can stand out - even in a very crowded market.And a lot more…Another challenge that companies face today is finding the right talent for those difficult to fill positions. Most companies that have tried to fill positions on their own have found that it often ends up in weeks or months of frustration. A lot of successful businesses have solved this problem by partnering with Asianet Consultants, which helps companies fill those often difficult-to-fill positions in Asia. Since 1988 Asianet has been working in partnership with its global clients to help them make the right strategic hires. Let's find out from Matthew how we can position our products to stand out - and win customers.Helpful Links:Connect with Matthew Stibbe: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewstibbe/Articulate Marketing's website: www.articulatemarketing.comMatthew's blog about modern management: www.geekboss.comLearn more about Asianet Consultant: https://asianetconsultants.comA Seat at The Table's website: https://seat.fmVisit A Seat at The Table's website at https://seat.fm
In this episode, Matthew Stibbe shares: That he still enjoys doing the IT Projects in his company even though he could outsource it to someone else. How his leadership and communication style has evolved from heroic individual leadership to a more professional, collegiate, management model. He is not good with Finance and HR so those were among the first items he augmented with other people. He comes from a long line of entrepreneurial stock. What he wanted to be when he grew up. How he got into game design with his first company, Intelligent Games. That when he left Intelligent Games he vowed to never have another office or employee again. He is one for two on that one. How he captures ideas and why he does that. What he does with the ideas that he captures and when. His thoughts on data loss in IT. That while he never wants to own another gaming company, he wouldn't mind writing his own game for his personal enjoyment.
Matthew: One observation I had very strongly after leaving my first business was, I had spent a lot of my time, a lot of my time dealing with a small handful of employees who were challenging in one way or another. They needed to develop, or they were disruptive in some way. When you have employees, you know, there's a bell curve, there are some who are awesome. There's a big middle of people who are basically pretty good. And then, you know, if you over ten years or you employ a few hundred people, there's going to be a few of them that are just bloody awful. Yeah. And I spend most of my HR time, most of my employee time dealing with the difficult ones. And what I should have been doing was that behavior or that action or that lack of development or that whatever it is, that is a problem that's got to stop or else, you know, and spend little. Time, but be much clearer with them about what needs to change and not agonize over it. You know, but I should have been spending more time with the people who were performing amazingly and recognizing and validating their work and supporting them and helping them be awesome and not get bored and not leave. And then the people who are on the sort of the higher end of the middle bell curve. How do you get them to be awesome, right? Instead of trying to make somebody bad into somebody who's adequate, I should have been making someone good into somebody awesome. And it's about the same amount of effort and intervention, but the payoff is much higher, right? So, it's an easy thing to say because unfortunately, challenging HR problems absorb a lot of time. There are legal implications, and you must coach. And so that's observation number one, pay more attention to the good people. Observation number two. Company culture is a critical purpose kind of how you communicate that to everybody, and how you enlist and engage people in it. And there's no one single thing that you do. But if you don't do anything, if you are unconscious of the company culture that you want, you will get a company culture. But it may be not the one you like. Okay, there is always a company culture, but part of your job, almost all your job in some ways as a leader is to shape mold, and direct the culture I think knowing that doesn't make it easy, but knowing it is important. And the third thing, I say this today because I'm in my early fifties and I'm reflecting on a long career and I'm hoping I've got a long career ahead of me. And I'm doing quite a lot of work with a management coach and I'm doing just started a project with a communications consultant and a kind of a coach in that area who's really, amazing. The point I'm getting here is that learning never stops. Here I am. You can go into a bookstore and there are hundreds of business books and business autobiographies of people saying, I'm awesome. I know everything. I've got all the answers, I've solved all the problems. And I am calling B.S. on that. Because if you think you've solved all the problems, you've got a big problem. It's always learning, learning, learning, learning, learning, getting better, getting better, getting better. And that's a hard realization. And I think in my twenties, I thought I knew it all. I was a very kind cocky kid. And I went around sort of being and I hope I'm a lot humbler and a lot more willing to learn now. - - - Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/leadershipstack Join our community and ask questions here: from.sean.si/discord Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/leadershipstack Leadership Stack Merch: https://leadershipstack.com/shop/ - - - Matthew Stibbe Website: https://www.stibbe.net/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewstibbe

To be candid, Matthew Stibbe's writing tips got our juices flowing so quickly that we set everything else aside to immediately apply them. Matthew has created marketing strategies, content, and campaigns for clients like Microsoft, Google, HP and LinkedIn. He also contributed to Wired, Forbes, and Popular Science. This guy has great writer written all over him! This 30-minute conversation may change the way you write forever. Why is writing so difficult? Sometime in the last couple of decades, writing has dramatically changed. We got lost in the new age of internet, and “21 reasons why you should be doing this” is the type of headline that fills up our Google search page daily. So, where's the sweet spot? Should we keep trying to fill up headlines and excruciatingly describe every detail to improve our SEO? Or should we simply write to our heart's content? Here are some questions to get you thinking in the right direction (pro-tip: all of them are answered in the podcast episode!) Should your writing include a lot of hype and longer text? Should you go for short simple words or aim for more complex ones to make the text more interesting? Would cutting your text in half make it less memorable? Matthew is CEO at Articulate Marketing, a UK marketing agency specializing in the technology sector. Also, his geek credentials are strong. Previously, he was founder and CEO at Intelligent Games, a 70-person computer games company where he designed games for LEGO and produced two games based on Dune. Thanks to him, our writing changed right after this conversation and that is why we MUST insist that you give this episode a listen. Not only that, but we also encourage you all to write a page of whatever you're currently working on as soon as you are done listening. The results will speak for themselves! ------- This Manage 2 Win Podcast episode is brought to you by Habitly.

Many years (think decades) ago a friend of mine, Danny Bailus, had a cool mini-bike. He rode it around our neighborhood in Howland, Ohio all summer. It was the third coolest (text me the first two) thing that held my attention that summer. That was until Danny decided that it did not go fast enough and removed the governor from the small engine. He removed the constraint from the system and the engine burned out. His father was not very happy, Danny was not very happy, and I was very happy I was not riding it when it happened. In this chapter, Mr. Benson discusses the difference between healthy and unhealthy constraints. Remember to buy a copy and read along.

With SPaMCAST 701 we go back to basics. Whether you call that quick meeting to coordinate the day the Daily Scrum, Stand-up, or a huddle is not material. Daily coordination is phenomenally powerful and useful unless it isn't. Just making teams meet without benefit is a really bad idea. What else can be done? We also have a visit from Tony Timbol with another installment from his Tell A Story Column. In this installment, Tony discusses agile requirements. Getting work done in agile is not just user stories and a cloud of dust. Re-read Saturday News The chapter of Why Limit WIP: We Are Drowning In Work this week is titled, Creating An Economy. In the past decade, certain words have become toxic. Words like process, waterfall, and output have become taboo in certain corners of software-related industries. Add the word productivity to the mix and many people would grab torches and pitchforks. The vilification of these words (or any words – it is sort of like burning books in my mind) makes it difficult to talk about systemic improvement. As a Kanban practitioner, I focus on flow. But not just flow, I advise my clients that they should keep their eye on continuously improving the flow. Continuous improvement yields better outcomes. Organizations, teams, and individuals that overextend and exceed their WIP limit are not improving their delivery of outcomes but rather in Jim Benson's words “disrespecting your ability to create amazing things.” More bluntly they are neither effective nor efficient.

This week Susan Parente and I had an extraordinary conversation about team leads in agile and leadership. In some cases, the role of a team leader is treated as if it were superfluous to requirements in other cases it is a tool to delegate work to people in an effort to subvert self-organization and when organizations get it right the role is a vehicle to unlocking the capabilities of teams. Contact Susan at parente.s3@gmail.com or on LinkedIn at linkedin.com/in/susanparente Re-read Saturday News Week 3 of our re-read of Why Limit WIP: We Are Drowning In Work by Jim Benson talks about the thrill of getting things done. People with a lot of WIP look for more work, things they can grab and complete to feel good about themselves. I am as guilty as anyone else. Sometimes when items on my shortlist get stuck instead of breaking the items down into smaller chunks to progress the work I will grab a less valuable task and just do it so I can check something off. Susan Parente, who you just heard from in one of her great “Not A Scrumdamentalist” podcast columns described the same scenario. Remember to buy a copy and read along.

I believe the TL role is the least understood and least talked about in agile. It is time to change that. I am working on testing a model of TL behaviors in agile. I need examples of REAL TL job descriptions to map into the model. The glittering generalities that you find on the web don't match what really happens in the real world. I do not need anything sensitive like salary or product details. I will happily share the first cut of the model with anyone that helps and sponsor a virtual meeting to discuss the model with all participants. If you have a TL job description you can share please email me at tcagley@tomcagley.com Next SPaMCAST Next week we will feature our interview with Matthew Stibbe. Matt and I discussed how leadership (or the lack thereof) contributes to projects in wide a range of environments (software and marketing).
