The managerial skill crisis

Managerial skills crisis is real.

The entire point to have this level of communication is to delegate some challenges with the effectiveness of other teams so they can be solved.

I see a lot of managers who had been to a training and two and react in a very text book way.

This is not a natural conversation and they actually show they can’t handle the topic.

It is like talking to robots.

This is why managers need to learn to be empathetic and, instead of over-promising, they need to first start assessing the situation.

Once they made changes, they can reach out with more promises.

But this is not learned in the textbooks, the skills needed to be a good manager and a good leader are hard to develop.

Some people can do it easier and faster than others.

As manager, try to reflect on your style and not only ask for an honest feedback, but self assessment is sometimes the best tool.

You can also look at the book the situational leadership.

Scalable system architectures are now critical, yet comprehensive load and performance testing remains insufficiently prioritized. Similar things happened to Healthcare gov on it’s launch day. The key takeaway is the importance of proactive planning and scalable system architecture to accommodate fluctuating demand.

Perks of being part of a non-profit

When you join a non-profit, you do it because you believe in the cause. However, if you do something for free, you expect work and people you work with to motivate you to do your fully. If the culture is already toxic, don’t expect you will be able to change it. Then the perks of being part of non-profit are replaced with the pain of being in an organization that even doesn’t pay you. This is also the issue with political parties which want to attract people to promote their ideas. Most of the time, people see how bad the situation is and run away. Let this be the message for all the people who want to build something new based only on the idea. Give your followers or colleagues something they can embrace and enjoy to be able not only to at
