“First off, I can't recommend Jake enough, he was a huge asset during his time at Northern Brewer. Working with Jake in various aspects at Northern Brewer gave me the insight on how he operated and problem solved in multiple scenarios with different types of people. The assets that made him so valuable was not just the ability to identify a problem, or clearly define goals.The skill Jake possessed, was the unique ability to empower his colleagues. He made sure everyone knew that they were doing it for themselves and that their effort was building towards something special, something to take pride in. This mentality and skill is what gives a company a soul. It's this ability that separates a company from those bottom line driven, lifeless companies that we're too familiar with these days. It was a pleasure working with Jake and he'd be positive addition to anybody savvy enough to have him aboard.”

You need to communicate with your team. What’s the best way to get everyone on the same page?
Being able to articulate and align on the goals and objectives is a foundational step. It should also be a “northern star” of sorts to reference and if and when misalignment, miscommunication, or stagnation occurs. In addition, the means and methods of measurement need to be laid out and agreed upon; metrics, kpi’s, reporting methods and cadence. This creates the framework for how you as a team with engage with the progress and measurement of execution. Timeline, stagegates/milestones, and deadlines should also be set. In my experience taking all of these elements from communication to execution within a PM platform like Asana or Wrike can then cement the process and environment in which to communicate, track and report.

Your team is facing a big change. How can you help them adapt?
In any change management, transparency to what is going well and what is falling behind needs to be consistently communicated. A steady drumbeat of feedback helps build trust and collaboration, as it can reinforce buy in and accountability. Leaders must also follow up on their directives and objectives; if teams feel it’s “all talk” without action or follow up, momentum and trust can erode.

Your team is facing a big change. How can you help them adapt?
A program and project management plan for the change is key; show teams how it will be achieved, when, by what means, and delegate tasks and responsibility accordingly. Many times change of any kind can feel intimidating and daunting, but breaking it up into actionable steps with a tracked and reported plan can ease tension, improve execution, and give tangible goals for individuals. Show them the how, then get them involved.

Your team is facing a big change. How can you help them adapt?
Communicating the why and the upside of the change is a good place to start. From there one can also communicate the risks of NOT changing, and provide evidence to support the need. It can also be helpful for some audiences to provide adjacent and relevant comparisons that support the change. And through out all, provide data to support the message. Communication can’t be a one size fits all, the message and method needs to be catered to the audience to get maximum buy in.

We need stories about the mundane things, like sandwiches. Films based on something small, and even poorly defined, but nonetheless enough to spur creativity. In fact, the stickiest memories may actually come from the small things found in the margins of each adventure. Those margins can border on the sacred in terms of providing hidden meaning; for stories, memories and elusive lessons.
It’s just a chunk of sando….Other creators -
