In this HCI Podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan H. Westover (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanhwestover/) talks with Tom Lawrence about how to become a highly effective leader and making the shift from manager to leader. See the video here: https://youtu.be/g0o5OXkCmQw. Overview: There are hundreds of books that teach us how to be a “leader”. Most of them are good and teach the right things. But, Tom Lawrence has seen very few that teach us how to influence our people, or take our personal growth seriously, or even lead if you’re not in a “leadership position”.  Tom Lawrence (https://www.linkedin.com/in/tomlawrencementor/) wants to change that by writing books for people who are interested in leading and inspiring others. He wants to help people who are not in a leadership position but are aspiring to become a leader, current managers who want to take the next step and become highly effective leader, and to help senior leaders enhance their leadership skills. Tom began his career in 1999 as an apprentice mechanical engineer, working for an automotive company in Liverpool, UK. After completing his apprenticeship he was made redundant from that company and had to find other work, that is when he joined the rail industry working for Merseyside’s train operator. He worked there for six years, and during that time he achieved his degree in mechanical engineering, his master’s degree in maintenance engineering, and he started his first leadership role as a project manager in 2009. After leaving Liverpool in 2011, he has worked in Edinburgh, Glasgow and London where he currently lives. Tom became a chartered engineer in 2013, and is a mentor for new and upcoming engineers working towards their chartership. Working in these different cities he had remained within the rail industry and led different types of engineering teams, learning and practicing different leadership styles.

In this "Throwback Tuesday" HCI Podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan H.

From working with Hollywood and music stars like Woody Harrelson and Rod Stewart, Nir Bashan (https://www.linkedin.com/in/nirbashan/) discovered something that may shock you: These creative superstars aren't all that different from you or I! It's just that they have mastered a method of repeatable and predictable creativity -- a type of creativity that anyone can learn. And it turns out that's the same type of creativity can be used in businesses and careers everywhere! Nir has taught thousands of leaders and individuals around the globe how to harness the power of creativity to improve profitability, increase sales, boost customer service and ultimately create more meaning in their work. Working with clients such as AT&T, Microsoft, Ace Hardware, NFL Network, EA Sports, Suzuki, Activision and jetBlue, Nir has spent the last two decades working on a formula to codify creativity for business.

In this "HBR Minute" HCI Podcast episode, Dr. Jonathan H. Westover (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanhwestover/) explores the recent HBR video, "How Apple Is Organized for Innovation: The Functional Organization." See the video here: https://youtu.be/5hENFA3CJUY. Video Overview: "When Steve Jobs arrived back at Apple in 1997, he laid off general managers of all business units and combined disparate functional departments into one functional organization. (Part 1 of 3) This is part 1 of 3 Part 2--The Leadership Model: https://youtu.be/d5enAGG51PQ; Part 3--Leadership at Scale: https://youtu.be/hczW4Bqf3Qk . The adoption of a functional structure may have been unsurprising for a company of Apple’s size at the time. What is surprising—in fact, remarkable—is that Apple retains it today, even though the company is nearly 40 times as large in terms of revenue and far more complex than it was in 1998. Senior vice presidents are in charge of functions, not products. As was the case with Jobs before him, CEO Tim Cook occupies the only position on the organizational chart where the design, engineering, operations, marketing, and retail of any of Apple’s main products meet. In effect, besides the CEO, the company operates with no conventional general managers: people who control an entire process from product development through sales and are judged according to a P&L statement."

Greenleaf Center for Servant Leadership, there are 10 most important characteristics of servant leaders, including committment to the growth of people. Servant leaders are committed to the personal and professional development of everyone on their teams. To develop your people , make sure that you use Training Needs Assessments  to understand their developmental needs  and give them the skills they need to do their jobs effectively. Also, find out what their personal goals are, and see if you can give them projects or additional responsibilities that will help them achieve these."  Dr. Eric J. Russell is an Associate Professor in the  Emergency Services department at UVU. His writings and research involve the influence of homeland security education on responders, as well as the impact of servant leadership on organizations and individuals.
