Gregory's Server@johnmark I'm really interested in interventions that help people learn to reflect on/notice these mindsets, and then find ways to change them. We've seen some good impact from relatively lightweight interventions about learning & belonging (like teams holding learnathons). Often a matter of finding the folks who are as frustrated as you and coming together to advocate on it. But so much work to do to figure out more here.

@johnmark yasssss!! In our recent toolkit we have shared our research-developed and tested pre and post measures, alongside the learnathon kit AND a premortem kit which you are welcome to remix and adapt to other contexts. This one in particular was about genAI and software because that has been a pervasive fear and stressor for teams lately, but we've seen folks reuse and adapt all of these for very different team topics --> https://www.pluralsight.com/product/flow/developer-success-lab/dsl-navigate-toolkit I hire by reducing the weighting of experience and increasing the weighting of continuous improvement skills, tolerance for complexity, tolerance for ambiguity, critical thinking, adaptability, learnability, and being collaborative by default. I try to expose students to this culture via an internship program - https://wehi-researchcomputing.github.io/students About half the students struggle as they are used to being spoonfed questions. |
@grimalkina Learnathons! That sounds like the sort of thing I could start today
