There are 2 surprising things in these lectures: 1. Sam always has some question to ask. Shows his dedication to the course as well as his focus in that very class. Commendable!! 2. All the presenters have watched previous lectures of the course. I've noticed presenter referencing previous lectures in nearly every single lecture. All these guys are BIGshots and they are dedicated enough to watch previous lectures to see what was covered and who told what. Commendable!!

Outstanding lecture

@vecter 9 жыл бұрын

This is an incredibly insightful and useful lecture. Most lectures talk about early stage challenges (which, to be fair, are the most common problems that startups have), but once you get beyond 5 people, the content in this lecture will probably more directly affect your company's success than any other lecture.

Can someone tell me why it's important to have a consistent voice across your content? What if you're like buzzfeed, businessinsiders?

@jacobgoodman4437 6 жыл бұрын

Psych2Go because it's how you develop brand identity. If every piece of content had a different voice, you would struggle to get your customers, and teammates to identify with what makes you uniquely you. That brand clarity can ultimately be leveraged to capture value.

how does "x / y" equation work? and what does 'output' mean? Thanks.

@AswinKumar9 5 жыл бұрын

The equation as such not sure if it makes sense. At 41:35 he's talking about how the natural tendency as a manager, is to increase the number of people under you, so that you look more important. In the equation, he asking to correct this tendency by measuring the performance of the manager by dividing output by number of people under the manager. So managers would want to keep only minimum people with maximum output under them. They would increase count only very carefully. So I guess the equation should actually be: X = Output/Y where X: performance of manager Output: Metric used to measure number of things done right Y: number of people in the team

@NicolasLevi 5 жыл бұрын

@@AswinKumar9 If a manager has 8 ppl in his team, and another 6, you have to compare not their total performance (output), but their average performance per employee (you can replace employee by other ressources as adequate). To get the average you divide the performance by the number of "ressources"(here team member) by 6 or 8 respectively. The goal is to not have the people with the larger team always win, and acknowledge small business unites / teams with great performance
