A Manager’s FAQ

In addition to 1-on-1s with eShares managers, I host a monthly management discussion to share challenges, successes, failures, and lessons…

How do I get employees to perform better? Tell them what they are doing well.

How do I give negative feedback? By being curious.

How do I decide what to delegate? Delegate the work you want to do.

How should I prioritize? Fix problems. Then prevent problems.

How should I grade employees? Don’t. Teach them to self-evaluate.

When do I fire somebody? When you know they can’t succeed.

How do I fire somebody? By apologizing for our failures.

Why can’t I just tell people what to do? Because the more responsibility you have, the less authority you have.

How do I know if I am a good manager? Employees ask you for advice.

How do I know if I have good management team? Shit rolls uphill.

I love this, read the full article for expanded detail on each point.

The original iPhone next to the Apple Watch.

[jitle]

Beautiful. I always called the first iPhone the iPhone Pro. If you could take that design and just update it with today’s bigger screens and slimmer design I would buy it in a heartbeat. If future designs are more reflective of the Apple Watch, maybe that is what we will get.

This is some awesome technology. It should be in every classroom and I would also happily pay to play with it while drinking at a bar.

Best Part: Dancing Sharks during Halftime show

Superbowl and sharks

[jitle]

I LOVED these sharks! No one else watching the game with me seemed to have the same love and joy to their show stealing dance, but after the game I checked online and sure enough the e-world agreed with me – they win!
