Ep 12: Lauren Buckley from the ANZ Bank on Environment and Culture
Listen now
Description
In Episode 12, we delve deeper into how the corporate culture we work for and within, can get us feeling stuck. The traditional structures of business are changing, methodologies like Agile are gaining popularity, and with it can come a feeling of being wedged between the old and new ways of working. In this episode, Amelia catches up for a raw and real conversation with Lauren Buckley from the ANZ Bank - one of the big four banks in Australia.Lauren is the Alignment Lead for ANZ, and is a leader within the bank’s transformation to Agile. She’s spent 13 years with the company, and in that time, has had 3 separate “chapters” of career. To achieve this, Lauren is honest about her journey – making decisions based on career growth and continuous learning. As a result, she has transitioned out of her original career as a Marketer – twice. First into Project Management, and now into Agile Leadership. She’s seen stuck happen when focus is placed too heavily on a linear progression at work, and instead, reminds herself to think of her career as a ‘lattice’ and not a 'ladder'.Lauren also gives a 101 of what Agile is, and how you can apply this mindset and methodology into your role to help get unstuck – no matter where you work.Here are the research links referenced throughout this episode:Carol Dweck “Developing a growth mindset” (Oct 2014) - https://bit.ly/33o0jdE Carol Dweck “The Growth Mindset” - https://bit.ly/2JUZBg7 The Toyota Way - https://bit.ly/2PTrskC  SAFe framework -  https://bit.ly/36AdfPs David Marquet “Greatness” (Oct 2013) - https://bit.ly/33m7t1W If you would like to connect with Lauren directly, you connect with her on LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/2oPJLvR  If you have a question that you would like answered, or you would like to connect with Ann and Amelia directly, you can email: [email protected] You can also join our Career and Coffee community on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/career-and-coffee-podcast/And find us on Instagram for bonus content: instagram.com/podcastcareerandcoffee
