At CTO Craft Conference: Culture and the CTO I had the opportunity to do a “lightening talk”. In the talk, I discussed a story about how I was communicating when I started my first senior leadership role, and how my good intentions created negative consequences. I discussed Albert Mehrabian’s theory of communication and then dive into inclusive conversation tools of:

  • Rules of engagement

  • Think, write, share

  • Everyone speaks once before anyone speaks twice

  • Using anonymity to foster psychological safety
