IT managers, Lori and Ann, were both shocked when they were given their latest projects. What this new client wanted was really complicated, and their teams were already about to tip over, not to mention the ridiculous time frame the sales team had committed to. “Why don’t they ask us before making these impossible commitments?” “What are they smoking?

Over my career, I’ve underestimated the need to adapt well to a new boss more than once. Trust me, it’s harder to recover… but doable. Working for a new boss often feels like a tight rope.

The status quo is the existing routine, the comfort zone. Change necessarily causes people to step out of their comfort zones, to learn something that was previously outside of their awareness, or to do something different that may seem unnatural or risky, or to go somewhere that is not well defined. Discomfort is necessary for change. People first need to be uncomfortable with the current situation to have the energy to do something different.

We will discuss what makes code hard to test, which anti-patterns and bad practices we should avoid to improve testability, and what other benefits we can achieve by writing testable code.

As I wrote here earlier this year, a word that's working for me this year is the Sanskrit word sankalpa. As explained to me by one of my teachers, Sara Ivanhoe, sankalpa encourages us to focus less on what we're going to do and more on how we're going to be. Of course, those two ideas are not mutually exclusive. How we show up in any given situation has an enormous impact on what we actually accomplish.

Which keep you small? Fears keeping you small. All leaders have fears. However, not all your fears are created equal. Some may manifest as low level anxieties. Some are life paralyzing phobias. Some may be triggered only by certain events – like fear of public speaking. Others may be life-long fears. Then there are the “big guns.” These are the core unconscious leadership fears from which all other fears come.

In fact, culture is a sum total of an organization’s shared values, behaviors, rituals, beliefs, attitudes, goals and practices. It exerts a powerful influence on day to day behaviors and choices of people.
