Hello,
We have 4 updates for you this week.
1. Building a great company culture
We interviewed Carsten Broich, CEO and co-founder of Sample Solutions and Sales.Rocks in the Netherlands.
A few highlights:
* "You can only change vertically by giving room to change horizontally."
* remote work can reveal communication issues that existed before
* "Each time I would write a business plan and plan out a whole year, it was a catastrophic year."
2. Thoughts on MBAs and management training
"Far too many managers have no clue how their employees feel or even what their people’s work lives are like, day to day. Employees pick up on this lack of insight in a heartbeat, and that realization taints everything their managers say to them from that point forward. [...]
I’d suggest, then, that every MBA candidate be required to spend at least a few weeks engaged in manual, clerical, and/or other forms of non-management labor." – Ken Iverson
3. How The NextGen Enterprise uses adaptive learning to thrive
Holaspirit is a proud sponsor of The NextGen Enterprise.
On January 26th, the NextGen team will host an online event with Cristina Riesen, a seasoned entrepreneur with great experience in design thinking.
Founder & CEO of Educators Foundation, Cristina asks the question: How might we move from traditional management to adaptive and purpose driven organizations?
Adaptive learning may be the key.
4. A potential blindspot
Working remotely presents a whole range of new challenges, from maintaining boundaries between work and other life priorities, to team collaboration, innovation and isolation.
Ben Foulkes of Corporate Rebels writes about potential blindspots in leading remote teams.
Have a great week-end!
