Your Reliability Engineering Professional Development Site
Recently, I’ve been looking back over my career and trying to understand why so many companies struggle with their reliability programs. The processes, the technologies, the tools have all been around for a long time and yet we don’t succeed.
The reason we don’t succeed is poor leadership. [Read more…]

Recently, I’ve been talking about how being vulnerable is the only way to create connection with people and open ourselves up to the lives we want. I was asked the question:“Rob, how do leaders create an environment for our teams to be vulnerable?”
At first, my answer was that leaders need to lead by example and be vulnerable first.
This is true, but we need to take it a step further.
On this podcast, Brene Brown, a leading expert in vulnerability, talks with Pete Carroll & Steve Kerr about creating spaces for vulnerability. There are 2 key points:

I wish I had a strong message for you today but I don’t. I’ve been having a rough time lately and I’ve been battling with myself so I can show up for you. I’m not perfect and I’m learning to give myself compassion and love instead of cracking the whip. I’ll leave it at that.

On this week’s webinar, an audience member, who works at a university, asked how they could teach their students the skills that make us good reliability engineers. My answer was pretty typical, the technical skills are easy to teach & learn, but what makes the great reliability engineers is their ability to build a culture. I continued to say that it takes relationship building and lots of donuts.
But why do we always talk about culture when it’s connecting with the individual?
On this week’s episode, I welcome Fred Schenkelberg back to the show. We discuss asking for help, the IIoT and how our reliability problems are not unique.

I spoke to my doctor yesterday and she mentioned that we’ll be in this lock-down period for at least a few more months. She sees the front lines more than I do but she doesn’t even know how long it’s going to be. However, it’s safe to say:
We’re going to be here a while. [Read more…]

In last week’s newsletter, I discussed some of the steps I’m taking to reduce the stress caused by the media & others on myself. It helped a bit but this week it all came to a head. I wasn’t sleeping, I was anxious/stressed the entire time, my thoughts were racing and I had extreme thoughts of dropping everything and hurting myself. When I spoke to my coach, she asked me why I hadn’t considered taking time off work, pushing back the things I do for you and limiting the requests I help out with.
I didn’t think it was an option. [Read more…]
