Good :) Next: how can you and those around you create the conditions in which the new momentum is preserved? |

My plan. Become friends with this manager and get to working for him. I will add, the meeting was not short of cultural, managerial styles 'arcing' violently.... and he contained those admirably where I'd have sighed and/or vented. EDIT: (btw +beer) "That's understood, we can take that up 'offline'" I have heard that so many times. It's nice to work with someone who doesn't accept that as an answer. Again. Refreshing to have actual "boil down to task and assign" management. |

Emulate his style. |

It does have many internally managed teams and the model they are really pushing is selling teams of people, rather than individual fungible bodies, "team augmentation". What often happens is the delivery folks sell this dream to us and the customers delivery people and when we land on site we get resourced whichever way the company wants, often sending the "team" to far corners of the planet on completely different projects and reporting chains. --- End quote --- It's an horrific business scheme IMHO. Not for the owners - it's very profitable. But for employees, it's hell. >:D You may not have a choice right now, but I would strongly suggest working on getting out and finding something else. Either direct employment in a company, or starting your own business depending on what you can do/how you see things. |
