We all want to be better and live better with the new year. But how do we accomplish this goal? The first step in creating a new you, is defining success.

"What you call love was invented by guys like me... to sell Nylons." - Don Draper.    Well Don, I don’t know if that’s true. For example: Dan loves Mad Men (in retrospect it has led to him purchasing some unnecessary Blu-ray’s) but for the most part he and Jeff have enjoyed watching the AMC television series with little negative consequences. This week they’re talking Jimmy into the series. To watch along with us check out Mad Men season one episodes 1, 5, 6, 8, and 13 on Amazon Prime.   On the next episode, friend of the podcast Dante will be talking Dan, Jimmy and Jeff into the fan-favorite animated series Avatar: the Last Airbender.

With a career in online community spanning more than 25 years, including 20+ leading influential online community The WELL and 13 as director of communities for Salon, Gail Ann Williams is a pioneer of our industry. On this episode, the inside stories and lessons that Gail shares, from The WELL, weave together to create an overall theme of how to protect, respect and inform the communities that we serve. Including: The right and wrong ways to close a community Understanding privacy and confidentiality in community spaces What happens when your community software reaches “religious significance” Big Quotes “Cliff Figallo, who hired me at The WELL, said that a community is a complex network of relationships that endure over time, and I found that really profound because that’s one of the differences to me. What makes something a community? Let’s say some people get into an elevator together. You can get really metaphorical and crazy and say this is a family that lasts for three minutes. That’s kind of nonsense. I don’t know what kind of elevator rides you usually have, but there’s a point where you need to have time and you need to have a complex relationship, and I think part of that is that there needs to be an ability for some people to go deeper and know each other much better than others. It’s really important to have sort of key people who anchor the conversation with different kinds of degrees of connection to one another, because that’s what makes the community, and that’s what makes it feel like it’s a place, like a town where some of the people have very complex close relationships and others just like kind of live there and say hi when they go by in the street.” -@wellgail “A couple years after I joined Salon, Table Talk, which was an amazing, huge forum site and free and not paying for itself, in an ad situation, was just something that was very familiar to a lot of people. One day, [I was told,] ‘Hey, I think we’re going to close Table Talk on Monday,’ and I’m like, ‘No, we don’t do this. We don’t close a community with no notice.’ [They said,] ‘It’ll be less traumatic for people. It’s kind of like pulling a bandage off.’ No, it doesn’t work that way.” -@wellgail “As consumers in online communities, we need to start asking people who run the community, when you close, how do I export my data? When you close, how do I contact all of my contacts and tell them where I want to go and find out where we’re going to be talking about where we land off your site? Where do we talk elsewhere? I’ve gone through this. I think many of us have.” -@wellgail “Maybe [efforts to save online communities] don’t matter to ownership groups, but they should. I mean, this is your legacy. These are the people who trusted you, and if they can pull it together and keep it going as a membership operation, then you as the founder or you as the current steward of that community, I think you’re kind of obligated to cheer them on and support them to the degree that you can. … It’s not mandated by capitalism. It’s got to come from a sense of actual community responsibility to other humans and actually understanding the value and importance of what we do.” -@wellgail “In the original software, [when a post was hidden on The WELL,] you would see something that said ‘censored.’ It was a little bit dramatic. That was something that we changed to say ‘hidden.’ It’s hidden. That’s the language we use. If you think it’s censorship, go ahead and bring that up, but let’s not tell everybody it’s censorship from the get-go. They might [recognize something was wrong with their post]. It might not be a fight. … Let’s be neutral, let’s not start fights we don’t have to, in the software itself.” -@wellgail “People would be very open in confiding in one another and then saying, ‘Wow, if my boss ever read this, I’d be fired.’ And you’re thinking, ‘Okay, some people here don’t like you. Your boss could pay $15 for one month, get in here, and see this.’ The people who don’t like you, if they’re really mean, they could tell your boss to sign up, and they’re still not personally releasing your material. But you’re making all these assumptions. Don’t put yourself at that much risk.” -@wellgail About Gail Ann Williams Gail Ann Williams is a collaboration and problem-solving fanatic. A professional in the online community sector since 1991, when she became the conferencing manager at The WELL, Gail set out to solve nitty-gritty puzzles of how social networking can best work in our lives, and how online community toolsets and practices can work better. Her stewardship of that legendary community space, through two decades of challenge and community drama, led to a deepening of both idealism and practical skepticism. Now she primarily consults with media, storytelling and social sites. Gail especially enjoys overall strategic planning for new ventures along with practical problem-solving for those that are choosing or evolving the most appropriate tools and cultural norms for their members. She also writes for craft beer publications and is a certified beer judge.

Pam:               I’m Pamela Wasley, CEO of Cerius Executives, one of the largest North American providers of contract executives for part-time, temporary, interim and consulting assignments. These executives are available to step in the companies on short notice to fill sudden gap in leadership, to run a key initiative, or to provide specialized skills and knowledge for a temporary period of time. BT:                  Welcome to Business Today brought to you by Cerius Executives, one of the largest interim executive and management consulting firms in North America. Today we are joined by Donald Nobel, a technology CFO who has spent a portion of his career as an interim executive. How are you doing today Donald? Donald:            Oh terrific, terrific! Nice to meet you Raj. BT:                  Nice to meet you too! So you actually have a pre-existing relationship with Cerius Executives. We’ve kind of tapped into you to be one of our interim executives and a CFO for some of our clients. That just leads me to wonder. When you work with companies, are there types of leaders or companies that you enjoy working with specifically? Do you like have a sweet spot with personalities or industries? Donald:            Well let’s start with industries if you don’t mind, and in with regards to that even breaking it down further, I prefer the challenge of really high growth companies. Where you walk in the door and they are doing a 100, 200, 300 percent a year, and those are very exciting and challenging for me and I love them. I love being in the door and I’m already hit with 5000 questions. Those are amazing. When you expand that to the industry, one of the things I love most is technology companies and today that’s a very broad term. A technology company could be software, it could be medical devices, it could be professional services. There are so many types of companies lumped under technology but again, love it because they are very fast moving and they are usually challenged a lot. As regards to people, leaders and CEOs, I tend to work best with those that have an organization where they trust the people below them, they trust that a CFO coming in can be part of the team and not micromanage ever single detail. The worst thing in the world is for a CEO to micromanage his team. And I think its best if I and the CEO are on the same page. That there are functions for the CEO and there are functions for the CFO and that’s the best atmosphere to work in. BT:                  And what do you do if you walk into a scenario where the CEO is micromanaging and doesn’t have a whole lot of trust with the people that work with him? Donald:            I probably try to do the best I can, but then shortly I recommend somebody else coming in. Again my job is not the long-term type job situation. My job is to do best for the company and sometimes the best for the company is a change. BT:                  When we look at the interim executive industry the consulting work that comes with it, it can be challenging, obviously, which seems to be a driving factor for a lot of executives who do this type of work. But at the same time it also, it could probably have its nuisances, constantly having to look for new clients or customers or contracts or... How do you do some of that, how do get yourself out there in the market place? So people know that you’re there and these are the services you have to offer and basically how does an interim executive in today’s day and age market themselves? Donald:            A very good question. I chuckled a little bit because I remembered something that a colleague said to me once and he said, “You are either working or looking for work, you cannot do both.” And I find that to be true in the interim game where again I think a common theme of our conversation today Raj is that interims do tend to get put into situations where they have to work very hard and they have to get a lot of things accomplished in a very short amount of time. So you don’t have time to you know kind of be searching while you’re dong this work for this company. So what I tend to do is, I tend to do two different things. Obviously I have an extensive network of companies I’ve helped and I get referrals. But the other thing of course I do is I partnered with Cerius Executives and work with them because they are one of the few firms to take the extra time to match the right executive or management consultant with the company that can benefit the  most from our expertise. There are a lot of companies out there doing it but it seems like Cerius has the best model for accomplishing both goals which is utilizing the expertise and helping the company. BT:                  Well Don. I wanted to thank you for your time. We really appreciate you joining us.

We’ve kind of tapped into you to be one of our interim executives and a CFO for some of our clients. That just leads me to wonder. You must have quite a few stories that have to do with startups or situations in which you’ve parachuted in. What’s one of your most memorable assignments, and the results that you achieved?   Donald:            Well let’s continue on on the example I just gave. A few years ago I was called in by a friend who had a CEO who couldn’t understand why his company was not profitable. And his company was heading over a 100 million in sales and they were doing a lot of business, a lot of satisfied customers. But believe it or not, he was considering laying off staff members because he just couldn’t figure out what the bottom line problem was. I come in and within a month after analysing the entire company, I realise the sales people were not being compensated correctly and didn’t have the correct incentives to do the job. So I proposed and implemented a compensation plan based on gross profit, not revenue. Within two quarters, gross profit tripled. This enabled the company not only to survive but thrive and continue on by expanding the product line, doing some mergers and acquisitions. And even implementing an entire professional services department.   BT:                  Well Don. I wanted to thank you for your time. We really appreciate you joining us.

Nice to meet you Raj. BT:                  Nice to meet you too! So you actually have a pre-existing relationship with Cerius Executives. We’ve kind of tapped into you to be one of our interim executives and a CFO for some of our clients. That just leads me to wonder, why continue down the interim executive path? I’m sure you get approached with full-time opportunities. Has the right opportunity not come by yet? Have you just fallen in love with being an interim executive so much that your interim executive career might become your next full-time career? I mean what keeps you going with it? Donald:            Wow. Good question. I’ll answer in part Raj, that of course I get approached by companies that want full-time work, long-term employment. I have also been approached by some of the interim companies I’ve worked for and said can you continue on as a full-term role. I am not sure I explicitly choose not to pursue those, but I do love the challenge that interim work brings to me. I am a puzzle solver. BT:                  So let me ask you this – next question’s a little hard – Give me one mantra of Don that you use or give when you go into a company that’s either hitting a plateau, or going through growing pains or in the need of a turnaround situation. A Rajisim, one of mine, is what’s the difference between a butter knife and a sword? How you use it. You got a  Donism for me? Donald:            Well there are some serval mantras that I live by but I would probably say the one I use most often is ‘hope for the best and plan for the worst’. The reason I say that and the reason I use that is when you go into any situation, whether it be a company or a life challenge or any situation, it’s OK to hope for the best outcome possible. However a good CFO, a good COO, a good management consultant should always be planning for all the scenarios that might or could happen. And I try to do that when I go in. I don’t just look for the best outcome and say that’s the one we’re going to pursue. I look at that one and say let’s pursue that one but here are five others ones that I am keeping in my back pocket. BT:                  That’s actually a really good one. I’m probably going to steal that Don, I’m going to be honest with you. Donald:            Oh I have a few more if you want them, so. BT:                  Give me one more. That was actually a really good one. Donald:            It’s interesting you should ask that Raj because one the other ones that comes up quite often, especially when both entering a company as an interim or choosing an interim, is something I heard from a CEO that I respect probably way more than he knows and it’s a simple statement that says, ‘fast, cheap or good, choose any two’. The purpose of that is you can either have it fast or good, but don’t expect it cheap. You can either have it cheap and good, but don’t expect it fast. There is very rarely a situation where you can have fast, good and cheap and I live by that because that’s true. There are many times that you have to pay more for something that you want fast and you want extremely high quality and there are times where when you come in and try to give the lowest bid whatsoever and have it done yesterday, you’re not going to get the quality. So it’s a good maxim to live by. BT:                  Well Don. I wanted to thank you for your time. We really appreciate you joining us.
