Challenge yourself, identify your passion, realize your dreams !!

'Make yourself redundant.' Sounds bizarre - but distributing/training others in your skills or automating it let's you move to the next stage of evolution.

Trust myself.
Listen more than talk.

You have the skills & acumen to start the journey … you will learn & develop as go on your way!

My first mentor advised me never take yourself more seriously than the work you do (don't let your ego get in your way)

Love Rose’s answer!

Don’t lie, admit when I don’t know something, admit when I recognise a mistake, ask for help.

help others before you help yourself!

When going for n interview, accept that it is not me who decides if I have the skills and personality they need but the selection panel.

Dream Big, Believe in yourself and Follow your passion!

We need to learn and create learning organisatons - anxiety is the quickest way to disrupt a human's ability to learn so we need to stay calm and sponge up the knowledge

removing the fear of failure allows people to grow from their mistakes … else its just rejection and no risk & innovation taken

I have been an active member of the itSMF and IIBA for many years. I subscribe and am an active member of the DevOps Institute, I also connect with groups in MeetUp.com.

Hopefully everyone here is a member of @devopsinst - its FREE!

Community building is huge! Great question Rose!

Love every community that is open but not closed and bridge the gap between humans acquiring new skills, knowledge, ideas, learning !!

I feel like it's one big global community and you can dip in and out of things like this or AllDayDevOps or DevOps Days or DevOps Enterprise Summit or Slack channels or just reach out direct on LinkedIn to people

This kind of community inside the company engaging for learning and sharing is powerful, cause people, teams, areas can learn so much with each other experiences and perspectives...I have seen it working beautifully

We are humans and socially wired - we are only successful if the people around us are successful - we should all be paying it forward!

The communities are created with common interest. But also bridging the gap between humans and communities will break silos and create a holistic community both ways !!

The new ways of working hinges on collaboration. We cannot collaborate without a community, right? We are richer when we share our knowledge with out peers and communities of interest.

Be part of the bigger picture, be part of if all

I want to know what a resiliator is!

Do watch Karen Ferris session at @GlobalSKILupDay . You will love it !!

"Resiliator"... ask #KarenFerris ;-)

Well, literally to PRINCE2 Agile ;P

But realistically - reflection, assessment and then execution

I will advice him to go to NewOps Days. It will be really interesting for him/her to view the new ways of working.

Upskill through new technologies and processes! There are plenty of people and resources out there (for free or for sale) that can help you learn what is possible and how to use the experience you do have for new opportunities!

Need to learn, need to grow, need to move forward .. we all have to change, the how & the when is for us to decide

For Business leaders - it would be monopoly,, For operations - Scribble :P

Bananagrams?! No wait. That's just my favourite game. ;-)

Helen For The WIN!

We just had to have it!!!!

absolutely not! But, would the ideas and principles around Lean and Agile have persisted as well?

.. to quote jeff Goldblum from Jurassic park 'devops would find a way'

Would it just have a different name? Would it all be about SRE? Or agile at scale?

Or it would be an Advanced Software engineering or full stack engineering !!

The technological advances that support a global society would not have accelerated as fast as they have.

DevOps rocks! even if with another name!

I wonder what we would call it if it had another name?

1) Release the pressure! Make the work visible and control the flow 2) Give them autonomy - distribute authority and empower them 3) Give them master - let them take time to learn 4) Help them discover their purpose and align it

Sometimes the basic gives the best solution. Creating a healthy competitive friendship within Team, get them going even in crisis. This is both personal and professional.

show the team how key their work is in the overall deliverable … ownership & being part of something that is great is a key motivator

it should never be a race and it should never be me versus him/her …. one goal .. one team .. one time .. one success

Absolutely !!

great question! By enabling everyone to enjoy their work and have no limits on getting the work done easily and effectively. The creation of high performance is through culture and understanding!

by keeping the focus on learning every single day. If the #1 goal is how to improve, the journey takes a life of its own and you reach places you never intended or thought possible!

Great question. Humans are often motivated in different ways than leaders may think. Carving out to time during the day to learn is important. Recognition is important too.

They love having the autonomy to choose the tool they want to use, play and see what they can do. So, give them a sandpit.....
