Do you work on your team?

© Copyright Frank D. Kanu 2000-2008

The success of a project or even a business depends—more or less—on the leadership qualities of the managers. A lot of the work is done in teams. Teams stand and fall with the quality of their leaders.

Creating a successful team and keep it a success is hard work for the whole team. You can’t just throw a group of people together and call them a team. Certain minimum conditions must be fulfilled:
  1. True communication
  2. Engagement of each team member for and in the team
  3. The will to learn and explore
  4. Structure
  5. Coordination


Once you have a team you need to create the framework the team has to work in: time management, rules for meetings and the like.
It costs time—and money—to design an effective team.

The biggest obstacle to effective teams is impatience.

Do you work on your team—daily?

Variable pricing

© Copyright Frank D. Kanu 2000-2008

On Ken McCarthy blog I found the Domain name madness post.

ICANN proposes variable pricing for the .org, .info, and .biz domains.

I agree with Ken—it is a terrible idea for website owners.

Did you check your laptop battery lately?

© Copyright Frank D. Kanu 2000-2008

Really lost count, but it’s now something like six million, right? Maybe it is time to check those batteries and their makers. Six million isn’t exactly a small mistake anymore.

Isn’t it time to actually educate the laptop users, the general public?

Quiet honestly—I really like to know how many of those “hot” produced batteries are ending up in other products—like cell-phones, kid’s toys—to name just a few.

What ever happened to product testing and quality control?

To managers that will stand up and admit their wrong doing?
