Find the time to learn

Companies don’t have the time to develop their people.

Companies are lacking the skills needed to grow and be better.

Coincidence?

I haven’t seen any senior manager who doesn’t want to have very motivated and capable people under them,

What about the people? How will you develop them if there is no budget or time?

It is the responsibility of the people to develop themselves. No one will push you to be better, no one will recommend you what to do.

In today’s culture of self-organized teams, companies rely on people, but also in the age of cost effectiveness, the companies again rely on people to drive their own career.

This leads to an interesting outcome. People are leading their career and taking the full responsibilities of their actions.

Companies don’t invest in their people’s education, therefore it is no wonder when someone develops their skills further, to leave the company.

If the companies want people to stay, there must be a shift in the narrative. Instead of companies asking employees to find the time, give them the time. really invest in the talent you want to see in your company.

To forget is the ultimate sign of lack of focus. You need to focus on what you do to be able to achieve the next level.

Twitter is a dead long live twitter

 Corporate rebranding takes time. It is carefully calibrated and represents the new directions of the company. Unless it is Twitter. Then the change can happen in a matter of a week. The domain x.com pointed yesterday to a page with one character “X”. Today it redirects to the twitter domain and soon we might see the dead of the bird and the birth of the symbol “X”. This change will be followed carefully and we can all learn from the mistakes Elon Musk will do during this transition. He already is very famous with the mistakes he did during his first weeks in the company. Can the company survive such a transformation is another open question? There are already some competitors like Mastodon and Instagram very own Threads. But the vision of Elon Musk is to turn this app more like WeChat, the Chinese mega app that combines many features. The issue with such a combination of too many businesses and too many regulations might play a crucial role in the downfall of the company. Many times s
