APWA Fall Conference 2018 - [email protected]

Slide 3Rapidly advancing technology is also

changing how we work.

Slide 4Example story of leadership in action:

Kameisha Denton.

Slide 5 Kameisha Denton was fired for

being pregnant.

Slide 6“Who does that?”

Slide 7 Another example story of

leadership in action.

Slide 8 Whether we like it or not, all leadership

leaves a wake.

Slide 9The research shows this is true for a

number of organizations.

Slide 10Evidence of this is coming up. This evidence taken together

illustrates the “leadership baseline.”

Page � of �5 46



Slide 11 If I rounded up ten people from an organization,

how many clearly understand its mission?

Slide 12 The research says only three in ten people

understand the mission.

Page � of �6 46



Slide 13 If I asked ten people in an organization, how many could tell

me what is expected of them?

Slide 14 Only half. And, this is not only a rank-and-file problem.

It’s the same percentage for managers.

Slide 15 If I rounded up ten people in an organization,

how many are engaged with their work?

Slide 16The answer?

(Illustrated by Lego Mini Figs).

Slide 17 Worldwide: One in ten is engaged

with their work.

Slide 18 In the US: Three in ten are engaged

with their work.

Slide 19 Summary of evidence showingleadership is underperforming.

Slide 20 One last bit of research: 7,000 people surveyed.

What was the number one reason they quit?

Page � of �10 46



Slide 21 In the survey, half of respondents said to

“get away from a boss to improve my quality of life.”

Slide 22 We know it’s not Jerry Seinfeld’s problem.

But whose problem is this? (Answer in the session).

Slide 23 Underperforming leadership is

financially expensive.

Slide 24 Disengagement alone costs US organizations

up to $550 billion per year.

Page � of �12 46



Slide 25 The cost of disengagement breaks down to

about $4,366.22 per employee.

Slide 26 Underperforming leadership isalso emotionally expensive.

Page � of �13 46



Slide 27 In a survey of HR managers about why people are quitting,

the number one reason was burnout.

Slide 28 Leadership really isunderperforming.

Page � of �14 46



Slide 29 Leadership, already underperforming,

is being further agitated.

Slide 30 The forces of generational churn and rapid technological

advancement are coming at us like a tsunami.

Page � of �15 46



Slide 31 Let’s get into more detail on the

Force of Generational Churn.

Slide 32 Generations help us understand the expectations, culture,

and beliefs of a group of people.

Page � of �16 46



Slide 33 10,000 Baby Boomers will turn age 65 each day

for another 10 years.

Slide 34 While at the same time, 10,000 Millennials are

turning age 21 each day.

Page � of �17 46



Slide 35 Estimated percentage of Millennials in

the office by 2020.

Slide 36 Estimated percentage of Millennials in

the office by 2025.

Page � of �18 46



Slide 37 It’s the scope and scale of the generational

change that matters now.

Slide 38 Why does this matter for

Public Works professionals?

Page � of �19 46



Slide 39 Three reasons. First,

public agencies are getting older.

Slide 40Second reason: The pipeline for

new talent is running dry.

Page � of �20 46



Slide 41 Third reason: If we do nothing

we may become nothing.

Slide 42 Leadership matters more

than we think it does.

Page � of �21 46



Slide 43 The second force working on all organizations

is the Force of Rapid Technological Advancement.

Slide 44 Kiva robots help Amazon become

markedly better at fulfillment.

Page � of �22 46



Slide 45 Technology improves productivity. That is it’s sole job.

And, we have been inventing technology for a long time.

Slide 46 As technology advances, we now work

alongside our tools.

Page � of �23 46



Slide 47 Some technology works alone

in our place.

Slide 48Will tech take our jobs?

Not exactly…

Page � of �24 46



Slide 49 Our jobs are really just a collection of tasks,

and technology is great at tasks.

Slide 50 Research says that 50 percent of jobs worldwide could

be done with the tech we have today.

Page � of �25 46



Slide 51 Why does this matter for Public

Works professionals?

Slide 52 First reason: We can leverage technology

to make us super-productive.

Page � of �26 46



Slide 53 Second reason: Technology, while great, has the potential

to harm how we lead.

Slide 54 Third reason: Future leaders will need to take care

when implementing digital solutions.

Page � of �27 46



Slide 55 Right now, leadership really does matter

more than we think it does.

Slide 56 Summary of issues: Underperforming leadership is

scrambling the leadership Rubik’s Cube.

Page � of �28 46



Slide 57 Summary of issues: Generational churn is

further scrambling the leadership Rubik’s Cube.

Slide 58 Summary of issues: Rapid technological advancement is

further scrambling the leadership Rubik’s Cube.

Page � of �29 46



Slide 59 So, what should we do?

Slide 60 To solve this specific puzzle at this specific point in time means

we must change how we allocate our time.

Page � of �30 46



Slide 61 We must invest more of our time, and spend

less of our time.

Slide 62 Investing our time on leadership activities will net

us bigger dividends over time.

Page � of �31 46



Slide 63 Success in the future organization is a function

of how we allocate our time.

Slide 64 Coming up are three ideas that you can use to

better invest your time.

Page � of �32 46



Slide 65 First idea: Invest in

communication.

Slide 66 Audience activity: Stand up, shake loose, introduce yourself

to your neighbor and tell them why your work matters in the world.

Page � of �33 46



Slide 67 When communication is done well it gives our message

a better chance at sticking with the other person.

Slide 68 Communication is not necessarily about quantity,

it’s about quality.

Page � of �34 46



Slide 69 Become a communication artist: Do one minute

sprint preps ahead of meetings.

Slide 70 Become a communication artist: Provide context

to your team members.

Page � of �35 46



Slide 71 Become a communication artist: Embrace transparency

that is radical for you.

Slide 72 Why lean toward transparency? Because

it builds trust.

Page � of �36 46



Slide 73 Second idea: Invest in that one underperformer

on your team.

Slide 74 Invest in them by refreshing what

your expectations are.

Page � of �37 46



Slide 75 Invest in them by having that sweaty armpit meeting

to reset the expectations. It will be hard!

Slide 76 Invest in them by providing consistent

follow-up and feedback.

Page � of �38 46



Slide 77 Third idea: Invest in

Power Hours

Slide 78 George Washington crossing the Delaware River

on Christmas night in 1776. Look at George.

Page � of �39 46



Slide 79 General Washington has the look of confidence that

we only get when we have a plan. Plans require thinking time.

Slide 80 Power Hours are one hour of on-the-clock time each week

that we use for objective-free thinking.

Page � of �40 46



Slide 81 Do you use Power Hours? If you do, then you are

in good company.

Slide 82 Bill Gates used to take one week off (twice per year)

for thinking and reading.

Page � of �41 46



Slide 83 Jeff Weiner, CEO of LinkedIn, has daily

Power Hours.

Slide 84 Leadership is about moving others to

action on a mission. To do this well we need time to think.

Page � of �42 46



Slide 85 The CEO of 1-800-GOT-JUNK uses all of

Monday as a Power Hour.

Slide 86 Whether you are in a coffee shop, a library,

or just out and about…

Page � of �43 46



Slide 87 Power Hours will be your most productive

hours each week.

Slide 88 Presentation summary: For a number of organizations leadership

is underperforming and is being further stressed by the two forces.

Page � of �44 46



Slide 89 Presentation summary: The future of leadership will

necessitate that we change how we allocate our time.

Slide 90 Presentation summary: Three ideas for implementing the solution framework

include investing in communication, that one underperformer, and Power Hours.

Page � of �45 46



Slide 91 And like General Washington crossing the Delaware River, we will

stand ready for the challenges ahead!

Slide 92 Thank you for your precious time and attention.

I am available to speak to your organization on this topic. Please get in touch.
