See the video and details here: https://youtu.be/8DEiT-BPMv0. Video Overview: "At 27, Stockton, CA's Michael Tubbs is the city's youngest-ever and first African-American mayor. 'What was the point of going to Stanford if it wasn't for making my community better?'" On November 8, 2016, Michael Tubbs was elected to serve as the mayor of the City of Stockton, California. Upon taking office in January 2017, Tubbs became both Stockton’s youngest mayor and the city’s first African-American mayor. Tubbs is also the youngest mayor in the history of the country representing a city with a population of more than 100,000 residents. In his first year as mayor, Tubbs secured $20 million to launch Stockton Scholars, a place-based scholarship that aims to triple the number of Stockton students entering and graduating from college. Tubbs also brought Advance Peace to Stockton — that data-driven program works to reduce gun violence in communities. And in an innovative public-private partnership supported by a $1 million grant, Tubbs launched the nation’s first ever mayor-led guaranteed income pilot. Before becoming mayor, Tubbs served as Stockton’s District 6 City Councilmember. As a councilmember, Tubbs created the Reinvent South Stockton Coalition, championed the creation of the city’s Office of Violence Prevention and was part of the council that led the city out of bankruptcy as Chair of the Audit and Legislative Committee. Mayor Tubbs earned his bachelor’s degree at Stanford University, and also received a master’s degree in Policy, Organization and Leadership Studies from Stanford’s Graduate School of Education. Tubbs has been a college course instructor for Aspire Public Schools and a Fellow at the Stanford Institute of Design and the Emerson Collective.

In this HCI Podcast episode, Dr. Westover talks with Gina DeLapa about the 7 C's of leadership. See the video here: https://youtu.be/nfgNKbRc52s. Gina DeLapa (https://www.linkedin.com/in/ginadelapa/) is the president of Thriving Cultures LLC and the author of Thriving at Work: Make Your Mark, Lead With Confidence, Stomp Out Drama, Get Home by 6:00. As a university career counselor, Gina DeLapa noticed an unsettling trend: The university was helping graduates get jobs, but not preparing them to succeed once on the job. Gina left the university, became certified as a corporate etiquette consultant from the prestigious Protocol School of Washington in Washington, DC and began helping companies teach professional etiquette to new college hires. She has since expanded her reach to help companies create thriving cultures at every level, from college intern to CEO. When every team member works from a leadership mindset, performance increases, drama decreases, and culture becomes a competitive advantage. As a speaker, trainer and coach, Gina has successfully taught both the mindset of leadership and the skillset. Known for her ability to connect with audiences at every level, Gina has inspired audiences nationwide, from Moss Adams on the West Coast to Deutsche Bank on Wall Street. For the better part of ten years, Gina also served as a sought-after adjunct faculty member in the graduate counseling program at the University of San Diego, where she earned a master's degree in counseling with an emphasis in career development. Gina credits her parents for putting her to work, starting at age ten, in the family pizza business. Growing up in an entrepreneurial family taught Gina how to see company culture through the dual lens of employer and employee.

In this "HBR Minute" HCI Podcast episode, Dr. Westover explores Marcus Buckingham' recent HBR video, "The Most Engaged Employee in the World." See the video here and details: https://youtu.be/5gtFPVwtnTk. Overview of video: "Barbara is a composite character based on factors that make us feel engaged, and she has a pet python." Internationally renowned and celebrated, Marcus Buckingham (https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcus-buckingham) is the go-to consultant in his field, a sought-after speaker and a New York Times best-selling author. Challenging accepted and entrenched social theory, Buckingham pioneered a revolutionary concept—that people will be dramatically more effective, successful and fulfilled when they play to their strongest skills rather than attempting to improve their weaknesses. He calls his research-based technique the "strengths revolution," and his work has been proven again and again in boardrooms, seminars and individuals' lives around the world. Hailed as a visionary by corporations such as Toyota, Coca-Cola, Master Foods, Wells Fargo, Microsoft and Disney, Buckingham addresses more than 250,000 people in live audiences around the globe each year. He recently led a workshop sponsored by Oprah Winfrey for 30 talented—but unfulfilled and unhappy—women. Acting on his advice, they were able to make immediate significant and positive changes in their lives. More than 1.7 million people downloaded the three-hour workshop video, and more than 100,000 unique contributors came online to post messages when his workshop and its results were featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show. The extremely successful workshop became the basis for Buckingham's book Find Your Strongest Life: What the Happiest and Most Successful Women Do Differently, to be released in September 2009 by Thomas Nelson. The best-selling author of five books, his landmark titles include First, Break All the Rules (co-authored with Curt Coffman, 1999); Now, Discover Your Strengths (co-authored with Donald O. Clifton, 2001); The One Thing You Need to Know (2005); Go Put Your Strengths to Work (2007) and The Truth About You: Your Secret to Success (2008). There are more than 3.7 million copies of his books in print. Prior to founding TMBC—a company that creates strengths-based management training solutions for organizations worldwide—he used his nearly two decades of experience as a senior researcher at Gallup Organization to break through the preconceptions about achievements and get to the core of what drives success. Buckingham and Gallup developed the StrengthsFinder personality test, which identifies signature themes that help employees quantify their personal strengths in the workplace and at home. Since the StrengthsFinder debuted in 2001, more than 5 million people have accessed this important tool to discover their strengths. Marcus Buckingham has been featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Larry King Live, NBC's Today, Good Morning America and The View. He has been profiled in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Fortune, Fast Company and Harvard Business Review. A member of the Secretary of State's Advisory Committee on Leadership and Management, Marcus Buckingham graduated from Cambridge University with a master's degree in social and political science. He lives in Los Angeles. For more information, please visit MarcusBuckingham.com.

As part of our "Forbes Minute" series, spotlighting thought-provoking Forbes videos and their key takeaways, Dr. Westover explores Hal Gregersen's recent Forbes video, "The Four Behaviors of Innovative Leaders." See the full video and all of the details here: https://youtu.be/gmkcGqZIZp8. Drucker’s keen insight about the power of questions has long been a guiding inspiration for Hal Gregersen (https://www.linkedin.com/in/halgregersen/). An innovation and leadership guru, Hal is Executive Director of the MIT Leadership Center and Senior Lecturer at the MIT Sloan School of Management. While Hal’s expertise expands across all areas of innovative leadership, asking the right questions cuts deeply across all of his work. He challenges organizations and individuals to question the way we think and act to build a better, more creative world. To grasp how leaders find and ask the right questions – ones that disrupt the world – Hal’s new book, “Questions are the Answer: A Breakthrough Approach to Your Most Vexing Problems at Work and In Life” (Harper Collins, coming out later this year), builds on 200+ interviews with renowned business, technology, education, government, social enterprise, and artistic leaders. This question-centric project surfaces crucial insights into how leaders build better questions to unlock game-changing solutions. The first article from the project -“Bursting the CEO Bubble: Why Executives Should Talk Less and Ask More” (March/April 2017 Harvard Business Review) – explores how senior leaders can ask better questions to unlock what they don’t know they don’t know – before it’s too late. The second article from the project – “Better Brainstorming: Focus on Questions, Not Answers, for Breakthrough Insights” (March/April 2018 Harvard Business Review) – outlines how his unique Question Burst™ method can help anyone solve problems faster and better by asking nothing but questions about a vexing challenge for four fast and furious minutes. Hal is also founder of The 4-24 Project, an initiative dedicated to rekindling the provocative power of asking the right questions in adults so they can pass this crucial creativity skill onto the next generation. Putting his insight into practice, he is the creator of a unique executive development experience “Leadership and the Lens: Learning at the Intersection of Innovation and Image-Making.” The course draws on Hal’s two passions – photography and innovation–to teach participants how to ask radically better questions and change their impact as leaders. Ranked consistently as one of the world’s most influential management thinkers by Thinkers50, Hal regularly delivers inspirational keynote speeches, motivational executive seminars and transformational coaching experiences. He also works with a diverse set of companies to help them master the challenges of innovation and change, from Chanel to IBM to the World Economic Forum.

As part of our "Inspiring TED Talks" series, spotlighting can't-miss TED Talks and their key takeaways, Dr. Westover explores Margaret Heffernan's famous 2012 TED Talk, "Dare to Disagree." See the video and details here: https://www.ted.com/talks/margaret_heffernan_dare_to_disagree. "Most people instinctively avoid conflict, but as Margaret Heffernan shows us, good disagreement is central to progress. She illustrates (sometimes counterintuitively) how the best partners aren’t echo chambers -- and how great research teams, relationships and businesses allow people to deeply disagree." When it comes to forming your dream team, the last thing you should do is surround yourself with what Heffernan calls “echo chambers” who only tell you what they think you want to hear. Mastering the art of disagreement is essential to effective leadership. Leaders must also be willing to cope with others disagreeing with them. Only through disagreement are ideas challenged. Hefferman outlines a rubric for avoiding echo chambers and allowing ourselves to experience what she calls constructive conflict. She says, “So what does that kind of constructive conflict require? Well, first of all, it requires that we find people who are very different from ourselves. That means we have to resist the neurobiological drive, which means that we really prefer people mostly like ourselves, and it means we have to seek out people with different backgrounds, different disciplines, different ways of thinking and different experience, and find ways to engage with them. That requires a lot of patience and a lot of energy.” Margaret Heffernan (https://www.linkedin.com/in/margaret-heffernan-ab5205/) has run 5 different businesses in the U.S. and U.K. All but one have been media companies. She now writes, speaks and blogs about business leadership, management, innovation and creativity. She also teaches at several business schools in the US and UK and sit on the boards of three organizations. She has published five books: The Naked Truth: A Working Woman's Manifesto about Business and What Really Matters, How She Does It and Willful Blindness, which was a finalist for the FT Best Business Book award. In 2014, A Bigger Prize was published. Reviewing it, The New York Times called it "an important call to build more collaborative, trustworthy and enduring institutions." The most recent book is Beyond Measure, a book commissioned by TED for which she has done 2 talks, seen by millions of people. She speaks at conferences and organizations around the world, from Britain's National Health Service to the police to banks, charities, schools and governments.

As part of our new "HBR Minute" series, spotlighting thought-provoking HBR videos and their key takeaways, Dr. Westover explores Robin Ely's recent HBR video, "The Culture of Overwork Hurts Everyone." See the full video and all of the details here: https://youtu.be/jjRWaMCWs44. Overview of clip: "The standard work/family narrative is an outdated excuse for what holds women back. Ask people to explain why women remain so dramatically underrepresented in the senior ranks of most companies, and you will hear from the vast majority a lament that goes something like this: High-level jobs require extremely long hours, women’s devotion to family makes it impossible to put in those hours, and so their careers inevitably suffer. Not so, say the authors, who spent 18 months working with a global consulting firm that wanted to know why it had so few women in positions of power. Although virtually every employee the authors interviewed related a form of the standard explanation, the firm’s data told a different story. Women weren’t being held back because of trouble balancing work and family; men, too, suffered from that problem and nevertheless advanced. Women were held back because they were encouraged to take accommodations, such as going part-time and shifting to internally facing roles, which derailed their careers. The real culprit in women’s stalled advancement, the authors conclude, is a general culture of overwork that hurts both sexes and locks gender inequality in place. To solve this problem, they argue, we must reconsider what we’re willing to allow the workplace to demand of all employees." Robin Ely (https://www.linkedin.com/in/robinjely/) is the Diane Doerge Wilson Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School. She conducts research on race and gender relations in organizations with a focus on leadership, identity, and organizational culture change. Examples of her past research include studies of men and masculinity on offshore oil platforms; the impact of racial diversity on retail bank performance; and how organizational narratives about gender, work, and family limit both men’s and women’s ability to thrive personally and professionally. Her work is published in academic journals, such as Administrative Science Quarterly, Academy of Management Journal, and Academy of Management Review, and, for practitioners, in Harvard Business Review. Professor Ely is presently conducting research on organizational culture change aimed at reducing workplace inequality, strategies for women leaders to navigate gender stereotypes, and HBS alumni career and life decisions. She is founder and faculty chair of the HBS Gender Initiative whose mission is to accelerate the advancement of women leaders and promote gender and other forms of equity in business and society through research, education, and knowledge dissemination. She teaches MBA courses in leadership, diversity, and teams as well as doctoral courses in field research methods and executive education courses designed specifically for women leaders.
