TIPS
to have more chance to have luck!

some
PLACE PEOPLE IN THE
RIGHT PLACE
not all people are meant to do the same job...
not all people must have the same career path...
fear to manage, fear to mentor, fear to do complex things, comfort zone
sometimes people get lost...
make clear what are the steps they can make inside the company
in order to grow... show them clear future...
career path is a must!
MAKE THEM
GROW(or not)
remember:
place people in the right place
MAKE THEM
GROW(or not)
(or not)
MAKE YOUR
TEAM SHARE
make your team travel, exchange, engage, share... be open!
make them take credit of what they do...
(show and share sessions, blog, tweets, promote)
let them be proud...
CELEBRATE
if you team deliver... you MUST celebrate!
do NOT roll in the hamster wheel
CELEBRATE
#workhardpartyharder
pwa
RESPECTGain respect by: (empathy works!)
Acquiring knowledge... know about what you do
Applying good habits... build company culture
Teamwork concept... help each other
HONESTY
Share your goals (company goals)
Let people know when they do good... and when they do bad
Do not please (don’t be afraid)
SALARY
All is about the money
All is not about the fucking money
SALARY
Balance money expectations with the right place to be...
...to learn ...to grow ...to be supported by
...to create and be proud ...to share ...to be happy
to BELONG to something
LAST TIP
HAPPINESS
SUCCESS
HAPPINESSsuccess != happiness
for every individual this formula is different...
also, for the same person... this formula changes depending the circumstances
SUCCESSis not the same as
