Shellye Archambeau knew as a teenager she wanted to grow up and become a CEO. But when Shellye started as an undergraduate at the Wharton School of Business in 1980, there were just two female CEOs of large corporations, and none of the CEOs of Fortune 500 companies were Black.

She broke barriers and took risks leading to a successful career with leadership positions at Blockbuster, Zaplet and MetricStream. In this 2022 conversation with Guy Raz, Shellye discusses her book Unapologetically Ambitious: Take Risks, Break Barriers, and Create Success on Your Own Terms, and details both her singular approach to leadership and her advice for taking ownership of one's career.

Janice Ellig is joined by Shellye Archambeau, CEO, and author of "Unapologetically Ambitious: Take Risks, Break Barriers, and Create Success on Your Own Terms." Shellye touches on her career in Silicon Valley as a woman of color and how she took intelligent risks to achieve her goals. Tags: Janice Ellig, Shellye Archambeau, women, leadership, economy, CEO, business, money, career, risk, book, author

Shellye Archambeau knew as a teenager she wanted to grow up and become a CEO. But when Shellye started as an undergraduate at the Wharton School of Business in 1980, there were just two female CEOs of large corporations, and none of the CEOs of Fortune 500 companies were Black. Despite the lack of representation, Shellye became the first Black woman to lead a division of IBM overseas. She broke barriers and took risks leading to a successful career with leadership positions at Blockbuster, Zaplet and MetricStream. Shellye's book, Unapologetically Ambitious: Take Risks, Break Barriers, and Create Success on Your Own Terms, details her singular approach to leadership, and her advice for taking ownership of one's career.

Often we fail to fulfill our dreams not because they're big, but because we lack enough intention to pursue them.  Regardless of how great your ambitions may become, it's never too hard. It only takes being intentional, purposeful, and committed to achieve your goals. In this episode of Fifth Dimensional Leadership podcast, I interview Shellye Archambeau, Fortune 500 Board Director. Shellye is the former CEO of MetricStream, a governance, risk, and compliance software company based in Palo Alto, California. Under Shellye's leadership, MetricStream became a global market leader with over 1200 employees that serves customers around the globe. On top of that, Shellye serves on four corporate boards: Verizon, Nordstrom, Roper Technologies, and Okta, and is a Strategic Advisor to the Royal Bank of Canada, Capital Markets Group. Shellye is a great example of a truly ambitious woman, who has ascended the ranks and created a name for herself in the technology industry. She's incredibly purposeful, intentional, and driven. She has a powerful story to share about defying the odds that she also shares in her book, Unapologetically Ambitious: Take Risks, Break Barriers, and Create Success on Your Own Terms In our conversation, Shellye talks about being purposeful and intentional in turning your ambitions into everyday decisions, which is the key to achieving your dreams. Key Takeaways: How being purposeful and intentional propels a leader and why ambition is not enough Understanding the what, why, and how of Imposter Syndrome What it takes to serve on not one, but  four corporate boards  How getting a “seat-at-the-table-job”, where interacting with the CEO and board enhance the odds of advancing Moving forward from the loss of her life partner. How to be an intentional leader during this disempowering time Homework does not end in school; always do your homework. Quotes “A lot of people set goals, and some plan to achieve them, but very few people make everyday decisions consistent with those plans where the power lies.” - Shellye Archambeau   “Risk and reward are two sides of the same coin.” - Shellye Archambeau   “Being intentional about watching, learning, and listening will make you a valued manager and leader going forward.” - Shellye Archambeau   Find cheerleaders, those who remind you how good you are.” - Shellye Archambeau   “The higher you rise, the more your reputation plays a role in what opportunities come your way.” - Shellye Archambeau   “A lot of people focus on the next job they want, but you've got to nail the job that you have to set yourself up for the next one.” - Shellye Archambeau   “The more you do to increase your ability to have more options means you get more choice, which helps you make better decisions.” - Shellye Archambeau

This episode of The Jake Dunlap Show features Shellye Archambeau, who is now Board Director for companies such as Verizon, Nordstrom, Roper Technologies, Okta and many more! Shellye wasn't born into these Board Director seats, as she had to face a significant amount of adversity starting at a young age, but has built her up into the successful person she is today.Shellye starts today's episode discussing her upbringing at multiple schools as she faced the adversities of racial inequity at a very young age first hand. Later on Shellye was accepted and graduated from The Wharton School prior to getting her start at IBM. It was Shellye's goal to become the CEO one day, but after 15 years of working her way through the ranks running very successful departments, she realized she wouldn't be considered for the IBM CEO role, and moved to become the President of Blockbuster.com. (She was in the meeting that Netflix pitched Blockbuster, but that is a whole nother podcast.)Shellye studied CEOs, and realized that sales is the path to becoming CEO more than any other role, which led her to Executive Marketing/Sales positions at NorthPoint Communications and Loudcloud/Opsware. The next phase of her journey was to getting on boards, as boards are in charge of hiring CEOs. This led her to becoming a Board Director on many boards. Now, Shellye's mission is to impact and inspire to achieve what they want to achieve has led her to writing her new book, “Unapologetically Ambitious.”Quotes“You can't control what people say or do, but you can control how you react. If they affect how you feel about yourself, they won.”“Be comfortable with the uncomfortable.”“Risks and rewards are two sides of the same coin.”“Impact and inspiring others to achieve what they want to achieve.  Find out more about Shellye in the following links:Website: https://shellyearchambeau.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shelarchambeau/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shellye.archambeauTwitter: https://twitter.com/ShelArchambeauLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shellye-archambeau/Amazon Book Link: https://www.amazon.com/Unapologetically-Ambitious-Barriers-Create-Success/dp/1538702894/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1641059155&sr=8-1 Learn more about Jake Dunlap and Skaled by visiting the links below:Jake Dunlap:Personal Site - http://jakedunlap.com/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jakedunlap/Twitter - https://twitter.com/JakeTDunlap Instagram - http://instagram.com/jake_dunlap_Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/JakeTDunlap/ Skaled:Website - https://skaled.com/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/skaledYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsw_03rSlbGQkeLGMGiDf4Q

From the time she was in high school, Shellye Archambeau had one dream: she wanted to run a business. Ultimately, she pulled it off, becoming one of Silicon Valley's first Black female CEOs. But getting there was far from easy. She had to learn how to assemble a network of mentors, overcome imposter syndrome, and challenge herself in ways she could never have imagined. The story of how she did it is the subject of her inspiring book “Unapologetically Ambitious: Take Risks, Break Barriers, and Create Success on Your Own Terms,” which was named one of the best of the year by our Next Big Idea Club curators. Today, one of those curators, Susan Cain, chats with Shellye about developing resilience, overcoming adversity, cutting yourself a break when it comes to work-life balance, and pursuing your ambition even if you're an introvert.Download the Next Big Idea app today https://nextbigideaclub.com/app/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

As 2021 ends, I wanted to look back at some of the best leadership advice we heard from our guests over the last year and a half. I interview around 50 guests every year, and I've had the privilege of speaking with many great leaders around the world; these are some of my favorite conversations.  I have picked out some short clips from my interviews with five past guests. These leaders have brought their companies & their people through the pandemic and all the changes that came with it, and they have continued to thrive despite all the challenges they faced. I hope you enjoy looking back at parts of these conversations and the lessons we can learn from these leaders.  Mark Lashier is the CEO of CPChem, a company that produces petrochemicals and plastics with 5,000 employees worldwide. Chevron owns 50% of the company, and Phillips owns 50%. Mark has served in leadership roles at Chevron Phillips Chemical and Phillips Petroleum for three decades.  Mark explains that being an effective leader entails building trust, showing transparency, and simplifying your employee's workload. It is critically important that all our leaders demonstrate the behaviors of trust, transparency, and simplicity every day; we talk a lot about that as leaders.   "People are incredibly perceptive. If they smell something inconsistent, they're not going to buy it, and they're going to say, okay, you say you want trust, but you're not exhibiting trust," he says.   --------------------------- There are 6 trends that are transforming leadership forever do you know what they are and are you ready for them? Download the PDF to learn what these 6 trends are and what you should be doing about each one of them. These are crucial for your leadership and career development in the future of work! --------------------------- Shellye Archambeau is the former CEO of MetricStream, a Silicon Valley-based governance, risk, and compliance software company, and the author of the new book, Unapologetically Ambitious: Take Risks, Break Barriers, and Create Success on Your Terms. She also serves on the boards of Verizon, Nordstrom, Roper Technologies, and Okta. In our conversation Shellye explained that creating your luck is positioning yourself so that when an opportunity shows up, you can take advantage of it, and it is just as vital that you make sure you let people know what you're doing.  Tell them your job title and explain what you are responsible for in your job.   David Cote is the former Chairman and CEO of Honeywell and author of the bestselling book, Winning Now, Winning Later: How Companies Can Succeed in the Short Term While Investing for the Long Term. During his time at Honeywell, David fixed a toxic work culture and grew the company's market capitalization from around 20 billion to 120 billion, delivering returns of 800%. Currently, David is Executive Chairman of Vertiv Holdings Co, a global data center products and services provider. He is a member of the Aspen Economic Strategy Group on Foreign Relations and the Conference of Montreal. David explains how he defines leadership and his advice on how to lead in tough times.  If we do the right things in the middle of a tough time, that will cause us to come out of a much stronger company than our competitors. And the advice that I give to people is don't panic and make sure that you keep thinking independently. Never forget to put your customer first, don't let customer service suffer in any way. Lastly, start thinking about the recovery, even while you're in the middle of the recession. A good leader finds a way to take at least a couple hours a week to put their head above the fray and look around and say, okay, all these short-term actions, I'm assuming, is it going to make a difference for where I'm trying to go for the long term? Is it consistent with what I'm trying to do, and if It's not, what do I do differently so that it will be? Those are the people who will do well going into the recovery and truly establish themselves. --------------------------- There are 6 trends that are transforming leadership forever do you know what they are and are you ready for them? Download the PDF to learn what these 6 trends are and what you should be doing about each one of them. These are crucial for your leadership and career development in the future of work! --------------------------- Rita McGrath is a professor at Columbia Business School and bestselling author of the book, Seeing Around Corners: How to Spot Inflection Points in Business Before They Happen. In 2020, she was ranked #5 on the Thinkers50 list for her work in strategy, innovation, and entrepreneurship and for being a champion of harnessing disruptive influences for competitive advantage. She is widely recognized as a leading expert on leading innovation and growth during times of uncertainty. Seeing Around Corners opens your mind to possibilities that are now made real because of a strategic inflection point. It's more about expanding the range of options that you're considering and then really being prepared to challenge your assumptions. And I think that's really where the seeing around corners part is so valuable. If you think about it, any business grows up with a set of assumptions about what's possible and what's not. And what an inflection point does is it changes the nature of those assumptions. Chris McCann is the CEO of 1-800-Flowers, a floral and gourmet food gift retailer, and distribution company with over 3000 employees. The company was started back in 1976 when Chris' older brother opened his first flower shop. In the 1980s, Chris joined his brother in the business, and they have been working together ever since. In our discussion, Chris talked about what he learned from other leaders he came to know, including CEO of JP Morgan, Jamie Dimon, and the former CEO of AXA Financial, Ed Miller. He also talked about the crucial things he has learned about leading in turbulent times. Chris explains two of the most critical leadership skills in communication and visibility. The need to step up communication so that the people in your company know that you're on top of things and you're looking out for their best interest is critical. Also, a key component to leading in turbulent times is re-emphasizing the vision of your company, your values, your mission. By focusing and constantly reminding people of our job and our vision to inspire human expression, connection, and celebration. And tying everything we do back to the company vision gives employees a sense of normalcy.

Then execute with discipline. Don't give up on your goal when you think that maybe it's not possible.  “Decide what's important to you and what you're willing to be judged on. Let go of the other things.” - Shellye Archambeau  Reach out to Shellye Archambeau at: Get the book, Unapologetically Ambitious at https://www.shellye.com/ Website: https://shellyearchambeau.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shellye-archambeau Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ShelArchambeau Twitter: @ShelArchambeau    Reach out to Lauren at: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurenherring/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LaurenHerringCareerExpert Twitter: https://twitter.com/laurenherring IMPACT Group Website: www.impactgrouphr.com Earn Your Worth Website: www.earnyourworthcareers.comI MPACT Group LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/impact-group/ Earn Your Worth LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/earn-your-worth-careers/ Get the book, Take Control of Your Job Search here:Paperback Book: https://amzn.to/3tibaCzebook: https://amzn.to/3dk4Cy5

Join alter-ego hosts Shawnee and Danae in their hilarious interview with this week's guest--Ms. Shellye Heath Otis.

In today’s episode, I speak to Shellye Archambeau – esteemed Silicon Valley leader and tech CEO.Shellye was one of Silicon Valley’s first African American female CEOs and pioneered a path in tech for others to follow. She started her career at IBM where she spent 15 years, ultimately leading its Asia-Pacific business for the public sector. Shellye later became the CEO of MetricStream in Palo Alto. She had joined tech company Zaplet which was going through some difficulties and was only months away from bankruptcy when she led it through an incredible business pivot, and merger with MetricStream. Shellye built the company into an award-winning global market leader with over 1200 employees serving customers around the world. Shellye is the author of two books, the most recent being Unapologetically Ambitious: Take Risks, Break Barriers, and Create Success on Your Own Terms which came out last year and which we discuss in this interview. It’s a great book which  Fortune magazine named one of its top 10 business books of 2020.In this episode, we discuss the many obstacles Shellye faced in her life (both personal and professional) and how she overcame them, as well as how she planned her career in tech. And planning is an important thread in Shellye’s book which we dig deeper into – how anyone anywhere can find the career and life they want with intentional planning. There are lots of great lessons in this episode and Shellye’s life story is incredibly inspiring. -----Let me know what you think of this episode and please rate, review and share - it means the world to me and helps others to find it too.Danielle on Twitter @daniellenewnham and  Instagram: @daniellenewnhamShellye on Twitter @shelarchambeau and Instagram @shelarchambeauShellye website and book Shellye's book Unapologetically Ambitious can be bought here.-----This episode was hosted by me - Danielle Newnham, a recovering founder, author and writer who has been interviewing tech founders and innovators for ten years - and produced by Jolin Cheng. Series 1 of this podcast is sponsored by Sensate – the device which can help to reduce stress and anxiety in less than ten minutes a day.

In this episode, Sheri and Olivia West sit down with the amazing powerhouse, Shellye Archambeau. Shellye is the former CEO of MetricStream, which landed her as one of Silicon Valley's first Black Female CEOs, and built the company from a struggling start-up to a global leader. She was named the second most influential African American in IT by Business Insider and has guest lectured at Stanford's Graduate School of Business and The Wharton School of Business. Shellye now serves on the Boards of Verizon, Nordstrom, Roper Technologies and Okta and she is the author of Unapologetically Ambitious. I LOVED this book as it captures so much of what we strive to teach young women! Tune in to hear Shellye discuss her book and guide us through how to take risks, break barriers, and create success on your own terms.

Shellye Archambeau is the author of “Unapologetically Ambitious: Take Risks, Break Barriers, and Create Success on Your Own Terms.” It’s part memoir, part inspiration, and career guidebook. While Shellye argues it’s for everyone, we reckon it’s really best suited for the most ambitious among us. In the book, Shellye shares how she went from being the only black girl in her high school to being the CEO of a Silicon Valley tech firm, MetricStream. And it’s an amazing tale of an amazing woman. In our conversation with Shellye, she talked with us about the challenges she faced growing up. But what was more interesting to us was talking with her about the way she makes decisions. She has this ability to see how things fit – or don’t fit – into her personal and business goals. And then she acts on them with amazing conviction. She is one remarkable person. We talked about how she has a strong inclination to set lofty goals – that we call BHAGS (big, hairy, audacious goals) – that never changes over the course of her career. These BHAGS gave her a North Star to navigate by. But the BRICKS (the steppingstones to needed to achieve long-term goals) she used along her journey were flexible and changed as her situation changed. This flexibility is something we wanted to call out, because it wasn’t just being flexible that got her where she is today. Her incredible ability to create plans and execute those plans is what really set her apart from her peers. And we can imagine that all of her peers at IBM were talented, skilled, smart, and driven. Just not as much as Shellye.   INTERESTED IN BEING A PART-TIME INTERN FOR BEHAVIORAL GROOVES?

What does it take to create success on your own terms? I know that's a massive question. We all recognize predictable skills to increase the likelihood of that success like clarity, discipline, habits, mindset, and navigating relationships. Yet, there can be a chasm between what we know intellectually and what we put into regular practice. I had the pleasure of speaking with, Shellye Archambeau, an exemplar of excellence who has lived the best practices of leadership as a CEO, senior executive, and board member at multiple high profile high-tech companies. Shellye was named the second most influential African American in IT by Business Insider magazine and she is the author of a book that serves as a roadmap to successful leadership. The book is called Unapologetically Ambitious: Take Risks, Break Barriers and Create Success on Your Own Terms, and it was named a Best Business Book of 2020 by both Fortune and Bloomberg. Silicon Valley venture capitalist, Ben Horrowitz, said of her book, “If your goal is to be a truly great leader of men and women, you have found your guide." I agree so much so that I have read this book several times. I find Shellye's wisdom, humanity, and ability to convey her world-class experience in an actionable fashion, simply phenomenal. Among the elements of success unpacked are the importance of mentorship and finding your cheerleaders. Shellye's voice is so strong and clear that, as I read her book, I felt her becoming both a mentor and a cheerleader to me! So, join Shellye and me as we have a lively and informative discussion about how to create success on your own terms.

Whether or not your career trajectory targets a seat in the C-suite, the leadership principles that can get there remain the same. Perhaps few people know this better than Shellye Archambeau, one of Silicon Valley's first female African American CEOs, and author of "Unapologetically Ambitious." Shellye joins co-hosts Brian Comerford & Nick Lozano in discussion to define what resilience, preparedness, and setting far-reaching goals established for her in her own career trajectory. Among the many keen insights she shares, like the nature of her book, she gets personal with her story of writing, being comfortable with vulnerability, and becoming published. Filled with flashes of deep and intuitive understanding of what leadership requires, in this episode listen in as Shellye shares her inspiration that you can be a leader at any stage - in career and life. Shellye Archambeauhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/shellye-archambeau/Unapologetically Ambitious book Hosted By:Brian ComerfordLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/briancomerford/Nick LozanoLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nick-lozano/Lead.exe is published bi-monthly on the 1st and the 15th of the month.

I’ve had the privilege of speaking with around 500 leaders over the years on The Future of Work Podcast and I have really learned a lot from each one. On the show, they share tips, advice, lessons they’ve learned, as well as an inside look at what it’s like to lead their organization.  This past year really brought a lot of challenges for every single leader around the world. We had to learn how to adjust to a pandemic, how to address social injustices, how to lead virtually and much more. My guests really shared a lot of inspiration, motivation, as well as realistic advice for listeners.  Even though all of the interviews were great and informative, I have a few favorites that I really enjoyed. And from those episodes I have compiled 15 leadership lessons that are crucial for leaders to learn in order to succeed in the future.  Leading by example: Arthur Blank, co-founder The Home Depot Arthur Blank is the co-founder of the Home Depot, which today has a market cap of over $300 billion and they have over 400,000 employees.  Arthur is a leader that lives out the value of leading by example. He understands the importance of showing employees that what they do day to day is not beneath you as the leader. When you lead by example and let people know that you are not just sitting up in your office looking down on the employees who allow the business to succeed it makes people actually want to show up and work hard.  Creating your own luck: Shellye Archambeau, former CEO of MetricStream Shellye Archambeaur is the former CEO of MetricStream, a Silicon Valley based governance risk and compliance software company and the author of a new book called Unapologetically Ambitious. She's also on the board of Verizon and Nordstrom.  In this world you have to create your own luck, especially when it comes to your career. Shellye explains that creating luck means positioning yourself so that when an opportunity shows up you actually have the ability to take advantage of it.  What culture is and what it isn’t: Marc Randolph, co-founder and first CEO of Netflix Marc Randolph is the co-founder and founding CEO of Netflix, he also served on the board of Netflix up until 2003.  As Marc shares, culture is not just what you say, it’s not something that you put up on posters around the office, or some catch phrases that you come up with in a meeting. He says, “Culture is how you act. It's how you are, it's the things you do. And even more importantly, culture springs from how the founders and the early employees act with each other, with their employees, with their customers. And so, huge amounts of the Netflix culture arised organically, from the way that Reed (Hastings) and I behaved, the way that I treat people, the way I worked with people before.” It doesn’t have to be crazy at work: Jason Fried, co-founder and CEO of Basecamp Jason Fried is the co-founder and CEO of Basecamp, and best selling author of Rework, It Doesn't Have To Be Crazy at Work.  With the blurring of work in life, it can be quite challenging to make sure that work just doesn't take everything over. Jason is a big believer in capping a workweek at 40 hours, he says, “We don’t want people working more than 40 hours. You don’t need to. And if we’re doing that, then we’re doing something wrong, actually. I know a lot of companies, long hours is seen as doing something right, like, “Let’s stay late, and let’s work on the weekends and let’s pull all-nighters.” I think that’s completely wrong. And so, we’re very careful about not encouraging our employees to work that way.” What to do if you feel stuck at work: David Cote, former Chairman and CEO of Honeywell David Cote is the former chairman and CEO of Honeywell, and author of the best selling book, Winning Now Winning Later: How Companies Can Succeed In The Short Term While Investing For The Long Term. During his time at Honeywell, David fixed a toxic work culture and grew the company's market capitalization from around $20 billion to $120 billion, delivering returns of 800%.  If you have a boss who doesn’t feel that you are performing as well as you think you are, this is where you have to be self aware and figure out is there something you can fix or do you just have a bad boss, which David says happens less often than people think. So learn to be self aware and realize when there is something you need to fix. We all have issues, and it’s important to know what they are.  How to lead with empathy and courage: Kate Johnson, President of Microsoft US Kate Johnson is the president of Microsoft US, a $45 billion division. She is currently very involved in Microsoft's culture journey led by CEO Satya Nadella.  Kate is a huge believer and practitioner of leading with courage and empathy. But what does that mean and how does it come to life? Here is what Kate had to say.  She says, “One of the things that we've been learning is the connection between courage and vulnerability. So everybody thinks if you're courageous, that you have no weakness. You are strong, they picture warriors, you know, with lots of armor and heading off. That's not what courageous leadership is. Courageous leadership is the willingness to activate the troops and own the outcome, but also to do so bringing all of your strengths and weaknesses to the table with total transparency and clarity, and kind of owning work with that and figuring out how to assemble the team to bolster wherever there are weaknesses. And that's a different kind of leadership that I think is essential today.” How Covid-19 has changed leadership forever: Tiger Tyagarajan, CEO of Genpact Tiger Tyagarajan is the CEO of Genpact, a global professional services firm with 100,000 employees that drives digital led innovation in digitally-enabled intelligent operations for organizations around the world. Prior to Genpact. Tiger worked for several well-known companies such as Unilever, Citibank, and GE.  One thing that a lot of people are speculating about is that the office will be a thing of the past and that everyone will be working from home. Tiger doesn’t agree. While he does agree that some things will never go back to what it was before, he believes that offices will come back, at least in some form.  How leaders can serve their employees: Carrie Birkhofer, President & CEO of Bay Federal Credit Union Carrie Birkhofer is president and CEO of Bay Federal Credit Union, a non profit financial cooperative with 225 employees. She's been the CEO there for 25 years and under her leadership, the Credit Union has grown from $70 million to $1.4 billion in assets.  What does it look like to serve your employees? Carrie makes sure she meets new employees on their first day at work.  In good times, pre-COVID that meant four or five current employees and Carrie getting together in person with the new employees. The current employees would share who they are, what their path has been at Bay Federal, and something interesting that they want to share. Then they would have the new employees do the same thing, except they would share their paths getting to Bay Federal.  Creating a mission that resonates with employees: Steve Bilt, CEO of Smile Brands Steve Bilt is the CEO of Smile Brands, a company with 5000 employees that provides business support services to Over 425 dental offices. Smile Brands has been on Glassdoor’s Best Places to Work list three times and Steve is one of the top CEOs on Glassdoor.  Anyone can come up with a mission statement or a company purpose that sounds good. But it can’t be something that just lives on a wall or in the company handbook. It has to be something that is infused into every aspect of the business.  Steve believes it needs to be something short and catchy that people can remember. It needs to be something that you can evaluate and check in on to see how well the company is living up to it. It has to be something that is living and breathing inside your company. People are the solution, not the problem: Hubert Joly, former Chairman and CEO of Best Buy Hubert Joly is the former Chairman and CEO of Best Buy. Currently, He is a professor at Harvard Business School, and he's on the board of two companies, Johnson and Johnson and Ralph Lauren.    A lot of leaders first starting at a struggling organization probably would have thought about cutting back on the headcount first to save money. But Hubert not only didn’t take that route, he actually put more money into training, incentives, wellness, etc… Hubert truly believes that leaders should treat humans as a solution to the problem, not as a source of the problem. And we should use headcount reduction only as a last resort. Why leaders need a short attention span: Jim Heppelmann, CEO of PTC Jim Heppelmann is the CEO of PTC, a technology software company with 6500 employees in 30 countries.  There's always been this traditional mentality that leaders need to have a long term plan and stick to it. But Jim's lesson is that leaders actually need to have short attention spans if they want to thrive in today's rapidly changing world.  Jim is always looking for the next round of changes that make PTC better, or that protect them from a new threat headed their way. This is a quality that he believes all CEOs should have. Always looking to the next thing, don’t just ride current success.  The best leadership lessons can come from those around you: Chris McCann, CEO of 1-800-Flowers Chris McCann is the CEO of 1-800-Flowers, a floral and gourmet food gift retailer and distribution company with over 3000 employees.  Chris didn't learn leadership skills by attending a top tier University, he learned how to lead by those he surrounded himself with. Sometimes the best leadership lessons can come from those around you.  Why everyone should think like an entrepreneur: Jim McKelvey, co-founder of Square Jim McKelvey is the co-founder of Square and the author of a new book called Innovation Stack: Building an Unbeatable Business One Crazy Idea at a Time.  Lots of people are going through a time of reinvention. And having the mindset of an entrepreneur can be an invaluable asset.  Jim says true entrepreneurs solve problems that haven’t been solved before, they don’t just start a business, they do something that has never been done before. And that is what he and Jack Dorsey did, they solved a problem in a way that no one else had ever thought of before. They even were able to beat out Amazon when the company tried to copy the setup Square had. Putting people ahead of profits: Pehr Gyllenhammar, former CEO of Volvo Pehr Gyllenhammar is the former CEO of Volvo, and has been voted Sweden's most admired man nine times. Pehr had to lead his company through lots of tough times, like recessions, and an oil crisis. While all the other companies were sacrificing their people to save their profits Pehr didn't let go of a single employee.  In fact, he told me he would rather let go of a white-collar worker in a management role than a blue-collar worker working on the manufacturing floor. Pehr’s lesson is really all about appreciating all of the people who work with him for you. And remembering that it's oftentimes the people on the front lines who make your business successful.  Creating and scaling amazing culture for a remote workforce: Robert Glazer, CEO of Acceleration Partners Robert Glazer is the best selling author of Elevate: Push Beyond Your Limits and Unlock Success in Yourself and Others. He's also the CEO of Acceleration Partners, a 13-year-old company that manages affiliate and partner marketing programs for a lot of well-known brands like Adidas, LinkedIn, Target, and others. He leads a team of hundreds of employees but they are all remote. The lesson from Robert is how he manages to create and scale an amazing culture for a workforce that actually doesn't work together in person. Robert shares that the key to having a successful remote team is by starting with the core values of the organization. Once you know your core values you can intentionally attract and hire the right people. Contrary to what happens in most organizations, Robert and his team understand that not every person will feel like the company is right for them.   This episode is brought to you by my friends at ServiceNow, a software company that makes the world of work, work better for people by delivering digital workflows that create great employee experiences, and unlock productivity.

Shellye Archambeau is the former CEO of MetricStream, a Silicon Valley based governance, risk, and compliance software company, and the author of the new book, Unapologetically Ambitious: Take Risks, Break Barriers, and Create Success on Your Own Terms. She also serves on the boards of Verizon, Nordstrom, Roper Technologies, and Okta. Under her leadership MetricStream was recognized for growth and innovation over the years and was named in the top 10 of the Deloitte Technology Fast 50. Shellye was named the second most influential African American in IT by Business Insider. She was ranked one of the “100 Most Influential Business Leaders in America” by Newsmax and she received the NCWIT Symons Innovator Award from the National Center for Women & Information Technology (NCWIT). Shellye Archambeau is no stranger to roadblocks and barriers. All throughout her career she has encountered them. But one thing she learned early on was that life is not fair, you’re not always going to have an easy time. The good news is, you can do something about it. Shellye realized she had to be intentional about everything that she did and every decision she made in order to improve her odds of being successful and reaching her goals. She knew that if she just did what everybody else did, she probably wasn’t going to get much out of life. In her new book, Unapologetically Ambitious, she shares some of the biggest lessons she has learned throughout her career and what she had to do to reach the goal she set in place as a 16 year old. Why you need to set goals At the age of 16 Shellye decided she wanted to be a CEO. With that goal in place she worked hard and she always knew which direction to go. You don’t have to know exactly what you want to do at a young age, but you do have to be able to set goals for yourself. Even if it means just looking forward to a goal next year or in 6 months. If you don’t set goals, you don’t know where you are trying to go, you don’t have anything specific you are trying to achieve. If you don’t have a goal in mind then it doesn’t matter what you do next or how you make decisions. You have to know what you are aiming for to know what actions to take. As Shellye shares, “Setting goals is really all about picking that objective in the future. And honestly, if you can only think two years ahead, then that's better than nothing, right? I don't care how far ahead, however far ahead you can pick, just pick that goal. Ask yourself, what has to be true for you to achieve that goal? And then ask yourself, how do you make that true? Which is basically the plan. What has to be true? And then how do I make it true? That's how I think about everything. And that's how to make the plan.” When setting goals it is also important to let others around you know what your goal is. Tell your boss, your mentor, your spouse, your coworkers. People can’t help you if they don’t know what you are aiming for. And while it can be easy to give up goals at the first sign of hardship, don’t give in. Figure out a different path, but don’t change your goals. Make sure you stay focused on them and keep working to get there. Few people make consistent daily decisions that get them to their goal. That is the key to success. Shellye says that’s where the real power lies. Make every decision and every action count in your journey to your goal. How to create your own luck In this world you have to create your own luck, especially when it comes to your career. Shellye explains that creating luck means positioning yourself so that when an opportunity shows up you actually have the ability to take advantage of it. Planning can improve your odds for good things to happen. After you set your goal, that’s when you get to work. Figure out what skills, experiences, and knowledge you will need in order to reach your goal and go after it. When you set a plan Shellye says you have to assume it’s going to happen and get ready for it. If that means you have to take a course or read some books or learn a new skill get to it. Don’t let yourself get to the point where the opportunity arrives but you miss out because you aren’t prepared. Do your homework, always keep learning. Don’t go into a meeting to learn something, learn what you need to before the meeting so you can contribute. You have to be proactive every step of the way. Shellye also advises people to take the time to let people know what it is you actually do. Don’t just give them your job title, titles are useless. What that job title means inside your company could be completely different inside of another. Explain what it is you do so that when somebody is looking for a person with a specific set of skills they will remember you. Dealing with imposter syndrome So many leaders deal with imposter syndrome, that voice in your head that says--what makes you think you can do this? Wait until they find out you don’t have the skills to do the job. You may never fully get rid of it, but you can deal with it in order to make sure it doesn’t stop you from succeeding. Shellye says the first thing is to realize that almost everyone (if not everyone) deals with this at some point in their life. It’s not just you. Understand that although the voice sounds real, it’s not. Also realize that you would not be in your current position if the people around you felt like you didn’t belong. So if you can’t believe yourself when you try to quiet the doubts, believe the people around you. And Shellye says, worst case scenario, just fake it until you make it. Act like you are comfortable and confident, even if you aren’t. Because eventually you will figure it out and realize you belong. Fostering self determination Self determination means you believe you are in control of yourself. You have confidence in yourself that you can go get things. But you also need relatedness, a feeling that you belong. So fostering self determination is really about creating an environment in which you feel you belong and that others care about you. So how can you do this? Shellye suggests joining groups, starting a club, getting people together around a hobby you are passionate about. Create that community for yourself where you belong. Forget about work life balance The phrase work-life balance has become very popular over the past few years. It is a very hot topic, but Shellye actually hates the term. She believes it just sets us up for failure and disappointment. Because in a true work-life balance both sides should be equally balanced at the same time, and life is too tumultuous for that. It is almost impossible to balance both, one side will suffer or the other side will. And trying to pretend we can have it all while staying sane is not healthy. Shellye likes work-life integration instead. You have to prioritize and deal with what needs to be dealt with no matter what side it is on. Especially these days in the pandemic when we are all wearing so many different hats. Life and work are blurring while we work from home with our kids and families. Don’t worry about being balanced, just get done what needs to get done on all fronts. Embrace your limits Most of us have gone through our strengths and weaknesses at some point in our career. We are usually pretty aware of what we are good at and what we struggle with. But what usually happens is people tend to focus on their weaknesses and they try to work on getting better. If you already know what you are good at, wouldn’t your time be better spent making your strengths even better? If you take an hour to work on a weakness you have you might improve a tiny bit, but if you could work for an hour on something you are already great at, think of how much more you could achieve. You are known for your strengths, so strengthen your strengths. Focus on those areas and really push yourself. And then lean on others around you to fill in the gaps where you have weaknesses. Learning to swerve So many people are having to swerve in their careers now with Covid-19. With all of the shutdowns and restrictions businesses and individuals have had to figure out how to continue to grow and thrive. Being able to swerve in your career means you can move around the roadblocks you can’t move. All of us are going to face roadblocks from time to time. Some that you can easily get around and some that seem impossible. You have to learn to go over, under, around, whatever you have to do to get past them. Roadblocks can be a boss who doesn’t see your potential, or a coworker who tries to push you down, or an organization with no new opportunities. Whatever it is figure out what you can do to swerve. As Shellye says, “The only difference between a roadblock and a stepping stone, is how high you lift your leg. So don't let anything stop you.” Never say die One of the values that was added to the MetricStream culture back in 2008 was never say die, which meant never give up. It’s all about resilience. They had to figure out how to fight to keep the company going when the economy crashed and they did. Shellye says it is so important that you don’t stop just because life gets hard, keep going, keep pushing. The most important thing they did in the middle of this storm was to focus. As Shellye explains in hard times everyone in the company has to be pulling in the same direction. Communication is critical so that everyone is on the same page and knows what is important. And the whole company focuses on what really matters and all the extra stuff falls away. During these times leaders also have to have a vision and they have to share that with the company, because when you are going through dark times it’s easy for people to want to jump ship. Leaders have to have a vision and they have to inspire everyone to keep moving forward. Life is hard for everyone, the key is to not let those circumstances affect your drive and motivation. Keep pushing forward and never give up. How Shellye takes risks In order to grow and move up in your career you are going to have to take risks. As Shellye says, you can’t get opportunity without taking risks. But risks can be daunting. What if you fail or fall on your face? Shellye has been taking risks her whole life and what she does is she asks herself a few questions before making a move. What is the likely outcome? If I do this, what is the upside?  What’s the worst that could happen and can I live with it? Most of the time people walk away from risks without even considering them because they are afraid. But if you take the time to understand what it is you are afraid of, you may find it’s not that scary after all. There are some risks where an outcome could be a long term negative impact on your health or it could mean your family ends up on the street. But usually if you think about the worst that could happen it’s not that dramatic. There are a lot of outcomes that you can live with. So when you are faced with a risk really look into it and what could potentially happen. You never know, it could result in the best decision you have ever made.
