I’m going to give you 100 percent of my 80 percent of my time
I just found an interesting interview with Eric Schmidt that I believe is very interesting. Regarding the hiring and recruiting there are 2 ideas that are very good articulate
- “You need to develop a culture where people actually are going to do what they’re going to do, and you’re trying to assist them”
- “So the 20 percent time is a very good recruiting tool, but more importantly it serves as a pressure valve against managers who are obnoxious. So the way it works is, if you’re my manager and you say, “Eric, you know, we’re on deadline, we’ve got a problem,” and so forth. I’ll look at you, and I’ll say, “I’m going to give you 100 percent of my 80 percent of my time.”
It may be, I don’t know, that these rules don’t apply as there are build, but the base for them is people development. This is a very important aspect for each of us, that’s so easy to be ignored or reprioritized. How many times have you gone to a training that was boring and you checked your emails during it? Or how many times have you left the training room only thinking on the task that you still have to do and with no impact from training day?
Giving the employees the opportunity to choice and sharing the managing authority with them is a big step and leads to a business that is driven by the employee’s creativity and intelligence.

All starts with a plan. The team is sitting around a table and starts talking about what the competitor X has done and was super, what the company Y has done. One hour has passed, two, three…four … the final decision came: We need to schedule a new meeting. After an initial plan has been [...]
Social Products
Social Products Require Social Marketers. View more presentations from Jon Gatrell. An interesting view regarding social products. I do not believe in social products, either but I strongly believe that social media channel should be under the lead of a product manager and integrated in Go-to-Market flow. I’m impressed with the number of adopters for [...]
Product Management Problems
As a product manager, I try my best to come with new ideas, to be involved in many projects and to help the organization develop attractive products/campaigns. I worked with technical departments, sales, marketing and I tried to talk to all “on their language”. I always have in mind the say that”if a product manager [...]
The Change Cycle
Every day is a new change! What yesterday was ok, today is forgotten…We re-design plans, we do again the road maps and these situations repeat over and over. There are times when I analyze myself and I realized that after a change there is period when I’m feeling lost, when nothing makes sense. If you [...]

Free content
I’m not a supporter of free content, although I know that most of the customers love this, I believe that this is an interesting presentation. Free content is ok, but it may content errors or it may even be false. On the other hand, due the free content, we all are smarter than 10 years [...]
