I would like to do it. Let's get six others (for two teams of four). What about doing it with the book club in between books? We could watch the video right after.
Short video but good instruction on delegation. Delegating based on strenghts and weaknesses and clearly communicating expecations and due dates without micromanaging..
Okay - this one was great as well. Don't know which one to show for the Film Festival - this one or Kathryn Schulz' talk "On Being Wrong". Somebody flip a coin!
I like this video very much - especially the point about listening. I find more often than not when you can reiterate in your own words what someone is trying to convey to you, it gives instant credibility.
Google is famous for its relentless A/B testing, a technique for making constant incremental improvements by testing one small change against the previous version to see which is more successful. You can apply this model to your own work habits too. I call it A/Me testing.
Don't change everything at once. Introducing too many risk factors into a successful project or system is dangerous. They key to optimization is making incremental tweaks in a controlled and measurable way that allows you to revert if needed. I explain how in this week's episode.
