This is why, from the beginning, we have been intentional about carving out time to meet face-to-face away from the urgency of daily work: Once a month at Planview headquarters in Austin, and for offsite meetings as well to bond and check alignment across the organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our most recent offsite meeting reinforced something that we know to be true: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>In order to be aligned, you have to be connected. In order to <em>stay<\/em> aligned, you have to <em>stay<\/em> connected \u2013 which means you have to build structures, systems, and processes that enable you to stay connected.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>This need for alignment, for connectedness, has already been creeping in over the past decade; but the pandemic, and the resulting, sudden shifts to how we work and live and connect kicked everything into overdrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the offsite, we talked a lot about the divide we\u2019re seeing between the organizations who \u201cget it\u201d and those who don\u2019t: Those who understand the critical importance of connectedness moving forward, who are prioritizing alignment, connection, and being mission-driven above all else; and those who see the shifts caused by the pandemic as temporary, who assume things will \u201cgo back\u201d to how they were before everything changed (and who are struggling as a result).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After leaving the offsite, I couldn\u2019t help but think about how so many of the \u201cstickiest\u201d moments of the meeting \u2013 the ones that made a lasting impression \u2013 aligned with our Core Values, which we recently refreshed to reflect our vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-we-take-our-mission-but-not-ourselves-seriously\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"We_take_our_mission_but_not_ourselves_seriously\"><\/span>We take our mission (but not ourselves) seriously.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-we-are-passionate-about-building-the-future-and-helping-our-customers-succeed-and-we-create-the-space-to-be-yourself-every-step-of-the-way\"><em>We are passionate about building the future and helping our customers succeed. And we create the space to be yourself, every step of the way.<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Building a culture that is positive, forward-thinking, innovative \u2013 it requires a foundation of trust and emotional safety. The corporate culture of yesteryear might not see the value of play, fun, or laughter \u2013 activities that might have collectively been referred to as \u201cgoofing off\u201d or \u201cslacking on the job.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But at Planview, we know that teams who play together and laugh together are infinitely more equipped to handle conflict together in a healthy way. They can engage in difficult conversations and come out of them stronger. They have the foundation of trust from which they can feel safe to experiment, try things, and fail \u2013 all key ingredients for business agility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As leaders, we have to set the example of how to take our mission \u2013 but not ourselves \u2013 seriously. When a few leaders cracked jokes at my expense during one bonding activity and messed with our logo\/brand\/templates to \u2018get my goat\u2019 in another, I knew that they were laughing with me, and not at me. This sense of kinship and mutual trust continued as we engaged in what I like to call \u201cspicy\u201d conversations \u2013 and led to some realizations that seriously moved the needle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-we-build-together\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"We_build_together\"><\/span>We build together.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-we-continuously-innovate-and-pursue-new-ideas-that-are-worthy-of-our-teams-and-customers-we-learn-and-explore-together-and-when-things-don-t-go-as-planned-we-have-each-other-s-backs\"><em>We continuously innovate and pursue new ideas that are worthy of our teams and customers. We learn and explore together \u2013 and when things don\u2019t go as planned, we have each other\u2019s backs.<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>From a strong foundation of trust and mutual respect, you can start to build, learn, and explore together. In our hyper-productive, \u201chustle\u201d culture, it takes courage to prioritize the creation of value over everything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why, as leaders, we have to show, by example, that it\u2019s okay to break a few rules in the name of creating value, in the name of innovation. A small example of this was when we were having timed breakout discussions on a variety of topics. Although we were out of allotted time for one topic, it was clear that we were not done discussing it \u2013 there was more value to be uncovered, all we needed was time. So, we decided to prioritize the creation of value over sticking to the agenda \u2013 and had some fascinating discussions as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-we-value-our-differences\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"We_value_our_differences\"><\/span>We value our differences.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-we-champion-diverse-perspectives-shared-belonging-and-uncompromising-respect-for-each-other-we-believe-diversity-equity-and-inclusion-are-foundational-to-our-ability-to-thrive\"><em>We champion diverse perspectives, shared belonging, and uncompromising respect for each other. We believe diversity, equity, and inclusion are foundational to our ability to thrive.<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At Planview, we know that our greatest asset is our people \u2013 and we know that our most important challenge as leaders is to help our people thrive. We believe in the power of diverse perspectives, and know that hiring people with a variety of backgrounds and experiences is just the first step toward creating a truly inclusive working environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>The real challenge is to not just invite diverse perspectives to the table, but create a culture where everyone feels safe to openly share, debate, experiment, and learn together.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>I think two things have to be true for that to be the case: First, there has to be an uncompromising respect for people embedded into the fabric of the culture. That goes so much deeper than simply not having tolerance for bigotry, hatred, or prejudice \u2013 which should (though, sadly often doesn\u2019t) go without saying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Valuing our differences, to us, means recognizing and acknowledging our differences and genuinely celebrating how much we have to learn from each other. For me as a leader, there is nothing worse than being in a room of people who insist on agreeing with you. Who learns anything in that environment?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, it\u2019s difficult to truly <em>value <\/em>our differences in perspectives if we don\u2019t know what those differences are \u2013 deeply not superficially. This is why we dedicate energy, time, and effort to getting to know each other as people \u2013 investing in learning about each other\u2019s personalities, personal journeys, and unique professional experiences \u2013 so that we have a deeper understanding of the lens through which each of us is viewing the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>there has to be a shared understanding, across the organization, that the goal is always, always, always to create the most value for the customer \u2013 to go in the direction that the customer and the data suggest.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p> Leaders have to set the example of this: Abandoning ego in pursuit of the best idea. Being willing to say, \u201cWe thought approach A was the right one, but now that we\u2019ve had a chance to collect more data, it looks like approach B makes more sense,\u201d \u2013 and that being a good thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-we-strengthen-connections\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"We_strengthen_connections\"><\/span>We strengthen connections.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-we-believe-anything-s-possible-when-people-work-together-on-the-things-that-matter-most-we-break-down-silos-and-collaborate-fearlessly-across-levels-functions-and-borders\"><em>We believe anything\u2019s possible when people work together on the things that matter most. We break down silos and collaborate fearlessly across levels, functions, and borders.<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I touched on it briefly above, the idea of not just being connected but staying connected. We see this one of the key challenges facing businesses following the pandemic, and one that we are actively working to tackle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Staying connected goes beyond just having the right tools in your stack that make it possible to connect with those in your organization. Simply giving someone a smartphone will not make them a communication expert, nor will it guarantee that they will call their mother from time to time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You also have to have structures, systems, and processes in place that ensure that everything is in alignment: Building in this kind of regular, automated check-in to your process means that you\u2019ll be more likely to catch things before they become bigger issues: You\u2019ll be less likely to fall victim to accidental strategic or executional <em>drift.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why, at key strategy calibration meetings (we call these Strategic Portfolio Management meetings), we take time to check alignment between all the various parts of the business. And it\u2019s always valuable: One of my peers alerted me to the fact that the mix of content our marketing team had been sharing on social media wasn\u2019t fully aligned with our agreed direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It takes humility to hear that kind of feedback and not take it a little personally \u2013 <em>what do you mean the marketing isn\u2019t perfect, I\u2019m the CMO!<\/em> \u2013 but because of the supportive, customer-focused, purpose-driven culture our team has created, I accept it with gratitude. I\u2019m grateful to my brilliant peers for caring enough to look into what we\u2019re doing and helping to keep us all aligned. I know that getting their feedback on our work strengthens our connections upwards and outwards \u2013 and I know our customers are better for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-we-do-the-right-thing\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"We_do_the_right_thing\"><\/span>We do the right thing.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-we-put-people-first-and-do-what-we-say-we-re-going-to-do-even-when-it-isn-t-easy\"><em>We put people first and do what we say we\u2019re going to do. Even when it isn\u2019t easy.<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of my favorite \u201cnuggets\u201d of wisdom our CEO Razat Gaurav shared in our first ever episode of <a aria-label=\"Connected Conversations (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.planview.com\/lp\/connected-conversations-episode-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">Connected Conversations<\/a> was: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cEmployee success plus customer success is what earns you the right to have shareholder success.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Investing in your employees, prioritizing the needs of your customers, relearning how you think about leadership \u2013 it\u2019s not the easiest path forward. But it is the only one that will allow you to build a sustainably innovative, healthy organizational culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And what modern leaders know is that at the end of the day, organizational culture is everything. We\u2019re all just human beings who want to do good work and feel like our contributions matter. And when you create an environment that fosters that \u2013 shareholder success is almost inevitable.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-connect-with-courage\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Connect_with_Courage\"><\/span><a><\/a>Connect with Courage<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At Planview, we know that what modern businesses need is connection:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Between strategy and execution<\/li><li>Between ideas and impact<\/li><li>Between opportunities and value<\/li><li>Between the mission of the organization and the values of the people within it<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And, of course \u2013 between the individual human beings working together at every level within the organization, and the customers they are working to serve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our job as leaders is to champion connection and foster opportunities for connectedness, even if it takes a little courage.
