Erica Seldin is one of the founders of August Public, a new kind of consulting company that believes today’s most valuable work depends on teams of people who work well together, enabled by organizations purposefully designed to embrace uncertainty.
Erica shares learnings from August's transformation effort inside a Fortune 100 company in a conversation about the practices that help teams and individuals shift their mindsets, the structures that activate everyday change, and a provocation that future of work might need to be more feminine than the past.
In this conversation we cover a wide range of tactics that August has implemented since their inception almost 18 months ago. We discuss the principle of transparency and why they share their salaries to the curious public.
Erica shares what August is doing internally to foster safety at work - not a term often applied to the workplace. And we talk at length about they are doing to build a remote company - the strategies they are implementing to foster collaboration and communication for team members across time zones and continents.
