Being a leader doesn't mean having all the answers. Admitting when you don't know something shows humility, vulnerability, and a willingness to learn. It also inspires your team to be open and honest about their own challenges. #leadership#vulnerability
@alischwanke Team huddles on Tuesday and Thursday mornings to check bandwidth, align on priorities and have any full-team project discussions.
Otherwise it’s communication via Teams as necessary and every other week 1x1s to chat about anything they want.
@samanthajoallen@OpenAI Same. Seeing what all I can do with it. It’s a useful tool, but nothing has quite broken my brain…yet. It seems like “quality of input determines quality of output” so far.
Haha. Oh man. That’s waaaaay back in the day. Fun fact: at that time I was helping run the @LincolnYPG social presence. We had a pretty active but nascent Twitter community orbiting that organization at the time.
@MaryKateGulick Catch them and feed them to the lizard! Those aren’t free. Unless they’ve started breeding in the dresser, then give them some water and lettuce! Now you’ve got a self-sustaining population and you’ll never need to buy crickets again.
@heydannypeavey@alischwanke Feels like this is the sign of a poorly run internal team. If the marketing team ISN’T looking at things from an external (specifically the customer’s) POV then why are they even there. Just let the product managers do all the “marketing” or get a third-party partner.
@alischwanke If I had a dollar for every time an internal client didn’t have a dollar, I’d retire. Just because there is an in-house team doesn’t mean marketing shouldn’t be accounted for in every product, program or service budget. Our time and capacity can’t be taken for granted.
@amymersch@alischwanke This is a major obstacle. You’d be amazed how many half-baked ideas get shuffled over to marketing to “figure out.” If you as a product/program manager don’t know what exactly it is, how do you expect us to market it?
I am a pervasive user of the word “guys” when addressing a group and I know it needs to change. Should I go to “peeps”? “Peeps” is cool, right? #YPSummit#WeSummitOmaha
Free communications advice: if you’re going to institute a “remote-learning day” so your staff can catch up from Covid-related absences, make sure your teachers don’t sign off an email to parents with “happy long weekend.” #MPS
