NECC07 Session 1: Learning for Leaders 2.0: Development of Self and Team

Notes on Learning for Leaders 2.0: Development of Self and Team

Presenters: Dr. Gordan Dahlby and Dr. Larry Anderson

I left another session to come to this leadership session so I arrived late. The main concept I took home was a Top 9 list of tech leadership statements from Google (some of these might have been abridged in my notetaking:

1. Ideas can come from anywhere (Everyone is expected to contribute!)
2. Share everything you can (Information is power)
3. "You're brilliant, we're hiring." (Work with a lot of smart people)
4. A license to pursue dreams
5. Innovation, not instant perfection
6. Data is apolitical
7. Creativity loves constraint
8. Users, not money (If you build it they will come)
9. Don't kill projects, morph them (What was the kernel of value in something that didn't work?)

Larry Anderson: "All leaders are learners"
