Why not buy in the record? Why are you messing me around? Hi everyone! It’s Slava Pankratov and today I want to discuss with you my personal history of fighting the stinginess, and also some interesting and not very pleasant discoveries that I made while investing in myself. As you may know, I am responsible for business development in our team. This includes money, advertising, hiring people, new products, and for some time also investments, shareholders, lawyers.It would seem that if I invest in people, in a team, in product development, and in experiments, then I should feel good about[…]

We cover the interest Hello everyone! That is the case when all news fits in the topic and tagline 🙂 Not all things in our life need to be exciting, new, and innovative.  A fork, a spoon, a chair and a table have not changed structurally for a very long time, but they still work and we use them.  The installment plan from the bank is not the most, let’s say, space based and innovative products, but when it becomes a simple tool, the things we want are getting closer. Education is expensive, both in terms of time and cost.[…]

And how we rob ourselves, colleagues As you remember, we decided to deal with the question of how much and on what purpose we spend time when working.

How long does the following[…]

Let’s collect statistics for further speculations We decided to figure out how much time we spend when we go to work and what we spend it on. If in the next two days we manage to collect such numbers, we might get an interesting study why some people consider work as an interesting place where you can grow and develop, while others have a monotonous routine without any light at the end of a tunnel. What numbers we need and what is the essence of the study which we want to fill with real data with your help. [+] 250[…]

Normal here and now is normal The main thing is to decide! In one quick motion! Quit tomorrow! Live day and night on the floor of the workshop or in the office until the first clients appear… Familiar intonation and expressions, right? At the same time, if everything is fine with you at the present moment, you don’t want to change it harshly and abruptly. Now it is [normal]. What will happen next is [not clear] and, most importantly, it is not clear if it will be so good later (and how much time this “later” will take), so that[…]

For TeamLeads, Project Managers Let’s digress from tasks, priorities and project management frameworks for a couple of minutes. A team lead or manager is, first of all, a human being. With his own strengths and with his own behavior and thinking. Suppose in childhood, parents would often say that the main thing is to be a good person, not to let others down, to help everyone, and only then can a human call himself a person.
