Prieteni si „prieteni”
12 septembrie '14People generally leave companies when things are not going well, so you should assume that Cathy is fighting for her company’s life. When in this situation, nothing will cut her deeper than losing a great employee, because she knows that the other employees will see that as a leading indicator of the company’s demise. Even more damaging for Cathy, her employees will perceive that her friend is raiding her company. In this way, a logical issue quickly becomes an emotional one.

S-a retras si Mihai
2 septembrie '14Buna dimineata, Orlando,
Dupa aproape 10 ani de InternetCorp …
Asa incepe mailul primit vineri de la Mihai. S-a retras si el dupa ce zilele trecute s-a retras si Val, dupa ce acum doi ani se retrasese Calin parca prevestind retragerea elvetienilor de la Goldbach. Radu s-a retras si el la inceputul verii si de atunci bantuie prin lume, Doru s-a retras primul schimband bannerele pe cursuri despre bannere, vipere adevarate si teambuilding-uri finalizate sub cerul liber. Liviu s-a retras si el dupa vanzarea catre Ringier lasandu-l pe Calin sa se agite in timp ce se plimba cu bicicleta pe autostrada prin SUA.
Asa, la prima vedere, in linia intai am mai ramas eu cu Dragos care, chiar daca a depasit 40-ul, e mai tanar in acest business si pare plin de energie – probabil si-o extrage din Facebook-ul pe care-l vinde – relansandu-si blogul international.
… nu pot sa nu remarc ca ramai incet, incet unul din ultimii mohicani ai Internetului Romanesc :)
Ce vremuri, cand Arbo si Netbridge culegeau tot ce misca :)
Asta e de la Florin, si el un veteran al online-ului din .ro. Chiar, ce vremuri!
Un pic nostalgic azi dupa cota de piata de altadata :) insa suficient de alive and kicking incat sa trimit mailuri la 3 dimineata dupa doar 3 ore de somn si o vara fara vacanta. Si nu, nu am de gand sa ma retrag. Inca :)
Viata de manager
29 august '14Sau cum s-a schimbat jobul de manager in ultimii ani:
1. Organizatiile au devenit mai complexe:
The most debilitating form of clutter is organisational complexity. The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) has been tracking this for a representative sample of companies in the United States and Europe since 1955 (when the Fortune 500 list was created). BCG defines complexity broadly to include everything from tiers of management to the numbers of co-ordinating bodies and corporate objectives. It reckons that, overall, the complexity of organisations has increased sixfold since then. There has been an explosion of “performance imperatives”: in 1955 firms typically embraced between four and seven of them; today, as they strain themselves to be kind to the environment, respectful of diversity, decent to their suppliers and the like, it is 25-40.
2. Sedintele ocupa 15% din timpul unui manager:
A second form of clutter is meetings. Bain & Company, another consulting firm, studied a sample of big firms, finding that their managers spent 15% of their time in meetings, a share that has risen every year since 2008. Many of these meetings have no clear purpose. The higher up you go, the worse it is. Senior executives spend two full days a week in meetings with three or more colleagues. In 22% of these meetings the participants sent three or more e-mails for every half an hour they spent sitting in the room.
3. Cresterea numarului de mesaje/emailuri la care e expus managerul:
These e-mails constitute the third form of clutter. Bain estimates that the number of external communications that managers receive has increased from about 1,000 a year in 1970 to around 30,000 today. Every message imposes a “time tax” on the people at either end of it; and these taxes can spiral out of control unless they are managed.
De aici.
