Less Turnover? Better Team Performance?\n\nHigher Morale? Sense of Fulfillment?\n\nHow about All of the Above?\n\nEngineers and software developers tell me that they would like to have less stressfu l workplaces. Leaders tell me that they would like to have higher performi ng teams. Executives and HR professionals tell me that the costs related t o high turnover are astronomical. Colleagues and friends tell me that they are burned out and have little sense of fulfillment at work\, maybe at ho me too.\n\nThat’s the bad news.\n\nBut the good news is that it is possi ble to turn that around\, yes\, all of it\, with one single cultural shift . One magic bullet. I know. I’ve watched it happen.\n\nWhat is that cult ural shift\, that magic bullet\, and how can you get it? Kind of like aski ng\, “Where is that ice cream\, and how can I get it?”\n\nJoin us for an entertaining and insight-provoking experience\, maybe one that will cha nge your life!\n\n[]\n\nLeslie Martinich\, a computer science pioneer\, wr ote a natural language interface (in 1985) to her company's financial plan ning system\, designed algorithms for distributed and parallel processing in order to enable AI (in 1988)\, wrote operating systems\, APIs\, and adv anced communication software\, and led her team to deliver the first comme rcial version of Remote Procedure Calls (RPC). Her early work in Artificia l Intelligence laid the groundwork for today's breakthroughs and provided her with a deep understanding of how to create successful innovations.\n\n In the middle of her career\, she made a pivotal realization: project fail ures weren't due to technical hurdles\, but rather rooted in managerial an d leadership challenges. Determined to rectify this deficiency\, she built leadership programs which she has presented across 6 continents (sorry\, Antarctica!)\, focused on innovation and preparing effective leaders. 70% of participants in her year-long leadership development program have advan ced their careers to the VP or C-Suite level.\n\nLeslie peppers her talks with stories from her career\, real stories\, hilarious stories\, that dev elopers relate to. She engages the audience with activities that they'll r emember.\n\nShe cares deeply about the careers of her colleagues and frien ds\; that’s why she helps leaders learn how to improve their skills in e ngagement\, communication\, and trust\, so that her colleagues and friends can have more fulfilling\, more productive\, and less stressful careers. Engaged\, trusted leaders inspire teams\, reduce turnover\, deliver\, and drive towards excellence in quality.\n\nShe has been a leader within IEEE\ , serving as the Central Texas Section Chair\, selected as the 2012 IEEE-U SA Congressional Fellow for Science and Technology Policy\, serving on the IEEE Awards Board\, serving as the VP of Publications for the Technology and Engineering Management Society (TEMS)\, and being a Distinguished Lect urer\, as well as many more volunteer roles.\n\nVirtual: https://events.vt ools.ieee.org/m/496846 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/496846 ORGANIZER:amritesh557@ieee.org SEQUENCE:30 SUMMARY:The Care and Feeding of High-Performance Teams URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/496846 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left\ ;" align="center"><strong><span style="font-size: 14.0pt\;">Less Stress?
