Pour 26% des salariés, l'humour est la première caractéristique d' un bon chef , loin devant l'honnêteté ou la patience, révèle un sondage mené par Office Broker, une agence qui aide les entreprises à trouver des locaux. Un choix pas si superficiel que ça: un quart des sondés estime en effet que le rire aurait tendance à améliorer les relations entre patrons et employés . La capacité d'un patron à dire la vérité arrive en seconde position, citée comme une qualité essentielle par 20% des salariés. 15% des employés privilégient le respect, 13% la patience, 10% l'équité, 9% la capacité de communication et seulement 7% l'honnêteté.
by Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic | 7:35 AM July 6, 2012 There is no bigger cliché in business psychology than the idea that high self-confidence is key to career success. It is time to debunk this myth. In fact, low self-confidence is more likely to make you successful.
Incentives are all the rage: employee bonus pay, app badges, student grades, and even lunch with President Obama. Despite their widespread use, most research finds that incentives are terrible at improving performance in the long-run on anything but mindless rote tasks, because the fixation on prizes clouds our creative thinking (video explanation below). However, a new Harvard study of teachers found that a novel approach to incentives could dramatically improve student performance: give teachers a reward upfront and threaten to take it away if performance doesn’t actually improve. Exploiting the so-called “loss-aversion” tendency could open the door to creative incentivizing for software designers and managers. Harvard University’s Ronald Fryer and his colleagues explain that, in education, pay-for-performance has a dismal record of improving student outcomes.
UPDATE: Marissa Mayer was named chief executive officer of Yahoo Inc. July 16, 2012. Many entrepreneurs don't even think twice when it comes to working around the clock. Marissa Mayer, Google's 20th employee and current vice president of location and local services, is no exception. When Google was a young company, she worked 130 hours per week and often slept at her desk. "For my first five years at Google, I pulled an all-nighter every week," Mayer said in a recent talk at New York's 92Y cultural center.
Génération INC., | 3 juillet 2012 Comment utiliser le jeu dans un contexte d’affaires? Jonathan Belisle, Hello Architekt, et Geneviève Cardin, LVL studio, expliquent comment utiliser le jeu dans un contexte d’affaires. En s’inspirant des principes des jeux classiques et vidéos, une entreprise peut, entre autres, stimuler la créativité de ses employés, retenir ses employés les plus innovateurs ou même faciliter le partage des connaissances. Une entreprise qui intègre le jeu dans ses pratiques permet d’identifier plus rapidement ses forces et ses faiblesses.
8 Sep 2010 Joel was kind enough to speak last night to Hunch and a bunch of other startups. For me it was like being a teenager at a Justin Beiber concert - Joel's blog is perhaps my all time favorite.
Cet article est extrait de “L’accompagnement des startups high-tech en France” écrit par Olivier Ezratty ( membre du Jury, Consultant & Coach Startup, Blogueur sur Opinions Libres ). J’ai souvent l’occasion d’être contacté, de rencontrer ou de croiser dans divers comités de sélection des entrepreneurs “seuls” dans leur projet. C’est-à-dire qu’ils sont seuls à fonder leur entreprise et qu’ils n’ont donc pas d’associés. Ils ont tout au plus des investisseurs plus ou moins investis dans le projet et éventuellement des employés, souvent des stagiaires embauchés à bon compte.
Look at this picture: Those are pretty big smiles don't ya think? Well, those are my kids. And the reason they are smiling so much is that today is their last day of school.
Je reprends les feedbacks du Founder Institute avec un peu de retard. Dans la série "j'ai tout pour moi", il y a Aaron Patzer. 30 ans, il a fondé Mint.com il y a 4 ans, tout seul. C'est un service web qui permet aux particuliers de ventiler et suivre leurs dépenses très simplement, qui les analyse et vous suggère de vous fournir ailleurs, là où ça coûte moins cher. Revendu pour 175M$ l'année dernière. Ce n'est pas trop la revente faramineuse qui m'intéresse, c'est le bon sens massif et la pédagogie du personnage, qui a animé une session sur l'équipe de l'entrepreneur : comment embaucher, comment licencier.
I’m trying to write my wrongs, But it’s funny these same wrongs helped me write this song —Kanye West, Touch the Sky Artist: Kanye West Track: Touch the Sky Album: Late Registration Released: 2006 Label: Roc-A-Fella, Def Jam Shortly after we sold Opsware to Hewlett-Packard, I had a conversation with the legendary venture capitalist Doug Leone of Sequoia Capital. He wanted to hear the story of how we went from doomed in the eyes of the world to a $1.6B outcome with no recapitalization. After I took him through the details including several near bankruptcies, a stock price of $0.35/share, unlimited bad press and 3 separate layoffs where we lost a total 400 employees, he was most amazed by the layoffs. He said that during his over 20 years in the venture capital business, he’d never seen a company recover from consecutive layoffs and achieve a billion dollar plus outcome. He said that he’d bet against that every time and wanted to know how I did it.
Working with teams whose members are spread across offices (or even continents) can make it extremely difficult to gauge and manage project momentum. Momentum isn’t motivation; it’s a separate factor. In fact, it’s often momentum that comes into play when team motivation might be flagging.
Who the f@#k you think you f$&kin’ with I’m the f%*kin’ boss —Rick Ross, Hustlin’ Artist: Rick Ross Track: Hustlin’ Album: Port of Miami Released: 1997 Label: Slip-n-Slide, Def Jam, Poe Boy Lyrics In all my years in business, I have yet to hear someone say: “I love corporate politics.” On the other hand, I meet plenty of people who complain bitterly about corporate politics—sometimes even in the companies they run. So, if nobody loves politics, why all the politics?
