“There's strategic value in giving up some control when you're a leader at a company and you want new ideas to emerge.” - Steve GarguiloEarly in his career, Steve did the (seemingly) impossible—he led a grassroots transformation of the culture of Johnson & Johnson, the fifth largest company in the world. Frustrated by the pace and challenges of big company culture, Steve decided to do something he’d done in college: host a TEDx.  He hosted a casual TEDx event at a bar and invited employees within Johnson & Johnson to share their research, wild ideas, and learn from one another. Within an hour and a half of posting the event internally, 90 people had signed up. Soon employees at other offices around the world wanted to host their own. By the time Steve was done, 23,000 people at Johnson & Johnson had engaged in a TEDx and he had a new title: “Head of Instigation at Johnson & Johnson.”Today Steve continues this work shifting big company cultures from the ground up. As a partner at Cultivate, he’s taking the transformative work he did at Johnson & Johnson to other organizations. He co-authored Surge: Your Guide to Put Any Idea into Action which captures the two-decade on the quest to find better ways to take action on our ideas.We talk with Steve about how he pinpointed fellow changemakers within Johnson & Johnson and supercharged their ideas using the TEDx format. Highlights, inspiration, & key learnings:Start with “why.” Aligning behind a shared purpose.Do something together.

Steve Garguilo runs the Office of Creative Engagement at J&J (Johnson and Johnson), one of the first corporate TEDx events. Learn how this program went from 60 people in a bar after work to one of the most successful TEDx programs in the Fortune 500. He is also the co-author of Surge: Your Guide to Put Any Idea into Action. Steve has a degree in Humanitarian Engineering and helped launch TEDxPSU as an alumnus (more of the story here). He, like Daniel at TEDxKL, was inspired in the beginning by Lara Stein, of TED. Now that there is a TEDxJNJ somewhere in the world, every week, and a team of employees who help produce, he's focused on a bigger vision of finding hidden voices and talents in the Company. He says that where they've ended up is not what they originally conceived of and that they didn't start with a grand vision. Steve is well known to the TEDx community and can be found on the TEDx stage helping other organizers create live-changing events.

Steve Garguilo is a man who knows how to make things happen! In our discussion, he shares how he starts with an idea and then works towards getting it done. He’s developed what he calls “a bias for taking action” and now he’s helping other people do the same. You’ll also hear Steve share some of the ideas from his recently published book: Surge: Your Guide to Put Any Idea Into Action. Steve and his friends Matt Kane and Sergiy Skoryk collaborated on the book after creating an adult summer camp focused on making things happen, aptly named Action Camp. One of Steve's secrets to his success is staying connected to like-minded people who hold each other accountable for getting things done. Hearing him talk about organizing and giving TEDx talks, driving the Mongol Rally through Europe and Mongolia, starting Action Camp, and writing his book will make you start planning your “action list!” Are you thinking about taking action but having trouble getting started?
