Directed by Mia Halme, the series offers viewers a front-row seat to witness the triumphs and challenges faced by these dynamic leaders in a traditionally male-centric political landscape. Not just a political chronicle, the documentary unravels the deeply personal stories of Sanna Marin and her all-female cabinet: Li Andersson, Annika Saarikko, Anna-Maja Henriksson, and Maria Ohisalo.</p><h2 style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: var(--tw-prose-headings); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; line-height: 1.333333; margin: 2rem 0px 1rem; white-space: pre-wrap;">Challenges and Crisis</h2><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(55, 65, 81); color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 1.25em; white-space: pre-wrap;">The documentary comes at a time when the global landscape is fraught with challenges, making Marin and her cabinet's job particularly grueling. In addition to tackling domestic issues, the leaders had to confront the catastrophic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the crisis emanating from the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Finland's geographical proximity to these tensions only intensifies the stakes, making the documentary a rollercoaster of high-stress situations.</p><h2 style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: var(--tw-prose-headings); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; line-height: 1.333333; margin: 2rem 0px 1rem; white-space: pre-wrap;">Women in a Man's World</h2><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(55, 65, 81); color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 1.25em; white-space: pre-wrap;">The essence of the documentary is its attempt to shed light on what it means to be a woman in a male-dominated field. The narrative doesn't romanticize their journeys; instead, it captures the authenticity of their struggles. While it may not be relatable for every woman to be in a position of power during a global crisis, the overarching theme of navigating a gender-biased field is something that resonates universally.</p><h2 style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: var(--tw-prose-headings); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; line-height: 1.333333; margin: 2rem 0px 1rem; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Human Element</h2><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(55, 65, 81); color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 1.25em; white-space: pre-wrap;">One of the strengths of "The First 5" is how it portrays these women as fallible human beings rather than infallible superheroes. The path to effecting change is shown to be fraught with good intentions that sometimes backfire, causing discord within the cabinet and creating hurdles for their policy initiatives.</p><h2 style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: var(--tw-prose-headings); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; line-height: 1.333333; margin: 2rem 0px 1rem; white-space: pre-wrap;">A Touch of Impartiality</h2><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(55, 65, 81); color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 1.25em; white-space: pre-wrap;">While the documentary roots for these women, it doesn't shy away from showing the contentious atmosphere they operate within. This element of impartiality adds an extra layer of credibility to the documentary, depicting it as an authentic lens into the complexities of political leadership.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VGX2hOOW6tU" width="320" youtube-src-id="VGX2hOOW6tU"></iframe></div><br /><h2 style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: var(--tw-prose-headings); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; line-height: 1.333333; margin: 2rem 0px 1rem; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></h2><h2 style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: var(--tw-prose-headings); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; line-height: 1.333333; margin: 2rem 0px 1rem; white-space: pre-wrap;"> <span style="color: var(--tw-prose-headings);">Conclusion</span></h2><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(55, 65, 81); color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 1.25em; white-space: pre-wrap;">"The First 5" serves as an eye-opening look into the intricate world of politics, the unprecedented rise of women leaders in Finland, and the sheer grit it takes to be at the forefront during turbulent times.

'Miss Americana', a documentary about Taylor Swift, wasn't my usual viewing choice. Yet, as I delved into the film, I found myself drawn into the parallels of leadership, hard work, and the sheer tenacity it takes to stay on top in any industry.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.5pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In the dynamic world of pop culture and entertainment, staying relevant is a relentless challenge. Leaders across industries would agree: the journey to the top is fraught with obstacles and, once there, the pressure to remain is unyielding. Netflix's exploration of globally celebrated pop sensation, Taylor Swift, provides profound insights not only into her life but also into the universals of leadership, diligence, and the journey of staying on top.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><br /></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/q07_k5VKuaQ" width="320" youtube-src-id="q07_k5VKuaQ"></iframe></div><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><br /></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><b id="docs-internal-guid-3a4502e5-7fff-5546-df1d-334076fe6b20" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><br /></b></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.5pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Here are my 6 take away insights from Miss Americana:</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><b style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><br /></b></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 20pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">1.

Businesses, industries, and markets are in a constant state of flux, and agility is paramount. As Swift reinvents her music and image to resonate with changing times, leaders must be prepared to adapt their strategies, approach, and vision.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><b style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: black; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;"><br /></b></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-size: 20pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">2.

It's a reflection of the challenges, growth, and introspection that come with leadership. Whether you're at the helm of a multinational company, a startup, or a community project, there are universal truths about the journey to the top and the quest to stay there. Taylor's story, with its ups and downs, triumphs and introspections, serves as a poignant reminder of these truths. As leaders, let's take a page out of her book: to lead with authenticity, evolve with time, and shoulder our responsibilities with grace.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><br /></p><div class="fb-like" data-action="recommend" data-href=" LINK POSTARE AICI" data-send="true" data-show-faces="true" data-width="450"></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2671091057569869674.post-10067882633382507482023-06-05T16:30:00.003+03:002023-08-15T16:44:48.272+03:00Leadership in the trenches: A review of "The Hard Thing About Hard Things" by Ben Horowitz<p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">When one thinks of literature that has reshaped our understanding of entrepreneurship and leadership, Ben Horowitz's groundbreaking book <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18176747-the-hard-thing-about-hard-things">"The Hard Thing About Hard Things: Building a Business When There Are No Easy Answers" </a>certainly earns its place at the forefront. First published in 2014, Horowitz’s influential manual on entrepreneurship quickly became a go-to resource for both fledgling and established business leaders alike. Let’s delve into the essence of this game-changing guide to better appreciate its enduring influence on the business landscape. I've only discovered it recently, yet it quickly became one of my most interesting lectures, because it is an excellent resource for entrepreneurs seeking guidance during challenging times, particularly when faced with tough decisions, uncertainty about next steps, or difficulties in team communication.</span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Author: A Titan of the Tech World</span></span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Ben Horowitz, a renowned technology entrepreneur and co-founder of the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, the company that has invested in some of biggest tech companies in the world.

Instead, it addresses the grueling realities of running a startup, the difficulties of scaling a business, and the trials of leading when things don't go according to plan. As a constant business reader, what truly drew me to appreciate "The Hard Thing About Hard Things" was its rootedness in reality. The book’s reliance on tangible, real-life examples made the principles it espoused both relatable and applicable. I found it immensely beneficial to navigate the roller coaster ride that is being a CEO - the highs of success and the lows of crisis. Additionally, Horowitz's insightful approach to the often delicate processes of hiring and letting go of employees offered practical strategies that foster both organizational growth and individual respect. Horowitz uses personal anecdotes and stories from his own experiences to highlight the essence of entrepreneurship, which, he argues, involves dealing with things that are hard. He delves into the 'hard things' - including layoffs, letting people go, managing politics, and deciphering when and if you should sell your company - with a brutal honesty that is both refreshing and enlightening.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Key Takeaways: Lessons in Leadership</b></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">One of the most compelling aspects of Horowitz's book is its central message that there are no silver bullet solutions in business. Every organization, team, and leader faces unique challenges that cannot always be solved by textbook strategies or popular trends. One must confront and navigate these obstacles, learning along the way and growing as a leader. I especially enjoyed the message related to embracing the struggle: the acceptance of the challenges inherent in entrepreneurship. It's not just about pursuing the path of success but also about navigating the complexities, the pitfalls, and the harsh realities that come with it. Failure isn't the end but a learning opportunity. A captivating reference that Horowitz uses in his book is that of 'Bushido', the samurai code of honor. He invokes this Japanese concept as a metaphor to underline a crucial aspect of entrepreneurship - adhering to one's principles, even in the most challenging situations. He suggests that, like the samurai, a leader must navigate difficulties with integrity, courage, and unwavering commitment. And with the constant reminder of the potential death. Thus, the Bushido code becomes a compelling framework for ethical and effective business leadership.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Horowitz also emphasizes the value of transparency, particularly in challenging times. He encourages leaders to share bad news honestly and timely, thus fostering an atmosphere of trust and cooperation. This, he posits, will enable teams to collectively find ways to overcome the crisis. Another critical lesson revolves around the importance of making tough decisions. Leadership often involves making unpopular choices that can lead to criticism and pushback. But these decisions, taken in the best interest of the company, often separate successful leaders from the rest.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Favorite quotes</b></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><i>"It taught me that being scared didn’t mean I was gutless.

It underscores the fact that the path to success is littered with hard decisions, personal sacrifice, and constant learning - and that, in itself, is a message worth remembering.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 12pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Did you read it?

From this position, I must emphasis a couple of things that I seem to find more and more outdated or that I thought, that us, as society, moved on from. I encounter each time at events dedicated to women a level of discussion that still remains in the surface of things, an accent on the "cuteness" of women, sexist speeches, unrealistic claims and a privileged way of looking at the topic.

Mișcările #metoo, #timeisup, precum și o vizibilitate crescândă a diferitelor modele de lideri, din mai multe comunităti și grupuri reprezentative pentru societatea diversă în care trăim, contribuie atât la documentarea și stoparea situațiilor precum cele la care care faci referire, dar mai ales la schimbarea narativului. <span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: italic; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Ce tip de comportament promovăm, ce repere morale avem, ce înseamnă să dăm voce lucrurilor care contează?

Eu nu am trecut prin situații care să mi-au pus piedici în drumul profesional. Cu toate acestea, chiar dacă noi nu trecem prin situații care ne pun limite în dezvoltarea noastră, nu înseamnă că ele nu există și nu se întâmplă. Știind cazuri și învățând din ele, putem contribui la o comunitate mai responsabilă și construcția unui mediu în care nu mai este necesar să ridicăm astfel de întrebări.</div>

Global Women in Tech (GWiT) este o organizație neguvernamentală, a cărei misiune este de a conecta profesioniștii STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) prin programe care sprijină dezvoltarea lor profesională și educațională. Suntem o comunitate internațională de voluntari, cu experiență și <span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: italic; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">background</span> diferit în domeniul STEM, care contribuie la crearea programelor noastre și a evenimentelor GWiT. Firul roșu care leagă toate inițiativele noastre este promovarea diversității și educației în acest domeniu.</div>

De ce este important să vorbim și să investim în topicul referitor la sub-reprezentarea femeilor în tehnologie? Futurologul Alvin Toffler menționa printre „previziunile” sale pentru viitor (<a class="addbackground" href="http://pjneal.com/documents/40fortheNext40101011.pdf" style="background-color: #fff400; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px !important; padding: 1px 2px; text-decoration: none !important; transition: all 0.4s; vertical-align: baseline;">40 for the Next 40</a>), analizând contextul politic și economic de acum 10 ani, că femeilor vor deține din ce în ce mai multe roluri de management, la o rată fără precedent. Privind la topurile actuale, a avut dreptate. Însă nu este numai atât. Suntem deja la a 4-a revoluție, cea tehnologică, care aduce cu sine o schimbare fundamentală în modul în care trăim, muncim, relaționăm. O dată cu scalarea acestei schimbări, trebuie să vină și adaptarea noastră pentru viitor, atât a noastră, cât și a generațiilor care vin. Observăm deja că piața muncii în domeniul sau în conexiune cu STEM este din ce în ce mai ofertantă. Fiecare companie devine o companie tech. Nu mai este un secret pentru niciun manager că o echipă diversă (din punctul de vedere al genului, al culturii, al istoricului) este mai performantă și poate veni cu soluții și abordări innovative comparativ cu echipele compacte sau în care predomină un anumit gen. Tinând cont de aceste lucruri, conversația cu privire la reprezentativitatea femeilor sau, mai degrabă, sub-reprezentativitatea lor este nu este de bon ton, ci necesară.</div>

<a href="https://www.howtoweb.co/">How to Web</a> is the most important event in web business and technology in South-Eastern Europe. For two full days, How to Web brings under the same roof leading innovators, entrepreneurs & professionals for hands-on talks on products, business, tech innovations, and global web trends.<br />
<br />
At its 8th edition, Global Women in Tech took the floor, for the first time, within the Tech Leadership panel focused on Diversity, Inclusion & Innovation, moderated by Steliana Moraru (Head of Marketing and Strategy GWiT).<br />
<br />
Simona Șandru - President and Founder GWiT:<br />
<br />
“Women are underrepresented in numbers, in companies. We all know and the studies already showed that diverse teams perform better. This leads to innovation, to progress”.<br />
<br />
Focusing on Romania, the numbers show that in our country, we have a number of women in technology above the average and also women have above the average salaries. But when it comes to integration of women in the workforce, we come with an interesting legacy. Looking at demographics, women need to start the training as soon as possible, even earlier than university, in order to get help with vocational training.<br />

Aceste schimbari au insemnat, din punct de vedere financiar, cu 109% mult business generat in 2017 comparativ cu anul 2016. In industria in care activam, ultimii 3-4 ani ne-au aratat ca domeniul leasingului are capacitatea de redresare si de a-si mentine ritmul de crestere. Vorbim in prezent de o piata matura, atat din perspectiva clientilor, cat si cea a companiilor din domeniu. Lucram cu clienti din ce in ce mai selectivi, cu cerinte mult mai specifice, care vad leasingul ca o oportunitate pentru cresterea businessului.</span><div>

<br /></h4>
<h4>
How Was Your University Time?</h4>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; caret-color: rgb(64, 64, 64); color: #404040; font-family: "Libre Franklin", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 30px;">
<i>I have very fond memories of my time as a student at the National University of Political Science and Administration, one of the best colleges in my native country, Romania. The professors, the topics and, most important, the access to numerous extra-curricular activities paved my way to the professional I am today.</i></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; caret-color: rgb(64, 64, 64); color: #404040; font-family: "Libre Franklin", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 30px;">
<i>These memories include my first official job, my time as a volunteer for several local and international nonprofits, and the first open door in the tech world. Actually, it was in my second year of University when I discovered my interest in technology, during my time within the Ministry of Communication.</i></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; caret-color: rgb(64, 64, 64); color: #404040; font-family: "Libre Franklin", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 30px;">
<i>During University, I’ve worked on several projects about e-government, having the advantage of catching a glimpse into a future that I’ve only read in sci-fi books and contributing to very forward-thinking projects. Later on, I’ve joined an organization working in e-government research and I’ve been part of 2 regional studies on the topic, which also gave me the possibility to be a speaker twice at the World Summit on Information Society.</i></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; caret-color: rgb(64, 64, 64); color: #404040; font-family: "Libre Franklin", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 30px;">
<i>What I would like to emphasize about my University time, something I’ve become very supportive for is that each student should have at least a community project or a volunteer experience during their college years, even from a younger age. It’s such a transformative period, and it’s the perfect time to experiment, to be curious and to shape your leadership skills, without most of the job/career precision that comes afterward.</i></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; caret-color: rgb(64, 64, 64); color: #404040; font-family: "Libre Franklin", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 30px;">
<i>I always encourage my students from the Leadership seminar I’ve taught to seek out the balance between enjoyment and achievement, even if sometimes might be hard to balance classes with other projects. It’s my true belief that only the ones who go for that extra mile reach to the top, so why not start early?<span style="box-sizing: inherit;"> </span></i></div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; caret-color: rgb(64, 64, 64); color: #404040; font-family: "Libre Franklin", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 30px;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We’ve all have been there: trying to become more productive and improve the way we work. If you are looking for a way to limit the “work in progress” answers received from your colleagues and achieve better results, here is a tool you can experiment with: the Kanban board.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">What is the Kanban board </span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<b><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>A kanban board is a visual tool that is effective at easily communicating a large amount of information</b>. This makes easier the process management and workflows that are important to helping the business run smoothly.</span></div>
</b><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This type of board uses cards, columns, colors, icons and other visual indicators that help people easily understand the information and retain it. Most teams that use Kanban boards develop their own unique configuration. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The board can be physical or a software tool, but that the physical board is usually more flexible and recommended. For example, both Mozaic Works team and MozaicLabs are using whiteboards to manage projects we are working on.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Why use a Kanban board </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Briefly, <b>the Kanban board can help you and your team with</b>:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li>minimize waste work (e.g partially done work, extra features, task switching)</li>
<li>ensure quick response to changes and problems</li>
<li>stay on top of your tasks</li>
<li>keep track of the activities and optimize the time spent on each activity</li>
<li>focus on the most important tasks</li>
</ul>

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></b></h4>
<h2>
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">How to build and use the Kanban board</span></b></h2>
<h4 style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: #edf6d6; border-radius: 7px; color: #60972b; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.33em 0px; padding: 15px; text-align: start; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<strong style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Identify and visualize the workflow</span></strong></h4>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: justify; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Start with what you are currently working on. Identify the main stages in the project/product development. <strong style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">The most simple Kanban board contains 3 columns: To Do, Doing, Done. </strong></span></div>
<h4 style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: #edf6d6; border-radius: 7px; color: #60972b; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.33em 0px; padding: 15px; text-align: start; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<strong style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Limit the work-in-progress (WIP)</span></strong></h4>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: justify; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For each specific activity, <strong style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">limit the number of tasks per step in the value flow</strong> (i.e. the process revealed by the board). They are pulled from column to column at each stage. This way, the team won’t be overload and bottlenecks can easily identify bottlenecks. You can add extra information to the post-its. For example, mention who is the owner of an activity and how many hours it lasted that specific action.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: justify; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">With the <strong style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">Kanban board, it can be visualized how work flows through the system</strong>. By building the Kanban board representatively for your product and limiting the WIP, you will quickly begin to see when work isn’t moving through the system. For instance, if work starts collecting in one stage, it’s time to look deeper at what might be causing a bottleneck.</span></div>
<h4 style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: #edf6d6; border-radius: 7px; color: #60972b; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.33em 0px; padding: 15px; text-align: start; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<strong style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Explicit policies and entry criteria</span></strong></h4>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: justify; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The policy is the team’s commitment to complete a certain list of activities before allowing work to be pulled into the next column. <strong style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">Identify and define policies and entry criteria for the tasks and activities</strong>. Make sure that even exceptional tasks are well integrated into the process.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: justify; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As the team identifies opportunities to improve the system, this knowledge is “written in” to the Kanban board itself. This allows an easy capture and preservation of the organizational learning. By conveying clear expectations to stakeholders, the board helps you with dealing with misunderstandings, create a stronger, and built a more trusting relationship.</span></div>
<h4 style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: #edf6d6; border-radius: 7px; color: #60972b; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.33em 0px; padding: 15px; text-align: start; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<strong style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Manage the activities flow </span></strong></h4>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: justify; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Monitor and measure the activities’ cycle time. The cycle time represents the work item spends from started to done (without the time that the task spent waiting on the board). This interval is measured from the work item’s point of view, that it doesn’t matter if it waits for something, the cycle time still passes. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: justify; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Therefore, <strong style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">the cycle time should start being measured, when the item task enters the “working” column</strong>, not earlier.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: justify; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Time management and metrics are important for any team. The Kanban board helps with quickly answering questions like <em style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">Is cycle time going up or down? Where are bottlenecks? Is something stuck somewhere, or should tasks be merged/split up?</em></span></div>
<h4 style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: #edf6d6; border-radius: 7px; color: #60972b; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.33em 0px; padding: 15px; text-align: start; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<strong style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Feedback & Continuous Improvement</span></strong></h4>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: justify; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Kanban is evolutionary. And one if it’s most relatable, proven benefit is <strong style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">continuous improvement</strong>. Talk about what worked and what didn’t. Based on the Kanban board, identify bottlenecks and find ways to fix them.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: justify; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When the teams are allowed to take a step back and examine how they are utilizing their resources and labor, they can <strong style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">easily spot new opportunities</strong>.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; color: #444444; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: start; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border-bottom: none; font-size: 30px; font-weight: 300; letter-spacing: -1px; line-height: 38px; margin: 15px 0px 5px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">Roundup</b><b style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;"> </b></span></h2>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: justify; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In the rush for productivity and keeping in-sync, the Kanban board can easily do the trick. By being visual, simple and easy to understand and offer plenty of information in just a glance, it’s a tool that you and your team will enjoy using.</span></div>

„Fiecare speaker va prezenta în sesiunea sa studii de caz. Aceasta a fost principala noastră recomandare în ceea ce privește fiecare prezentare, deoarece favorizăm exemplul personal, fie că vorbim de povești de succes, fie de lecții învățate din greșeli”, spune Steliana Moraru, Marketing & Communication Manager la <a href="http://mozaicworks.com/">Mozaic Works, companie care organizează Product Leaders</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Steliana Moraru vorbește, într-un interviu acordat eJobs, despre caracteristicile pe care le are un produs tehnologic de top.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>eJobs: Care sunt, în opinia ta, elementele care contribuie la succesul unui produs tehnologic?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Steliana Moraru</b>: Consider că există două perspective către care putem privi: impactul pe care îl au produsele tech asupra utilizatorilor și elementele pe care le oferă. Astfel, ținând cont de prima perspectivă, produsul trebuie să rezolve o problemă reală pe care o au utilizatorii, într-un mod eficient. Acest lucru înseamnă că produsul trebuie să fie ușor de folosit de către utlizatori, în sensul în care le oferă o amintire plăcută a utilizării și aleg să îl folosească cu plăcere de fiecare dată. Mai mult decât atât, îi oferă valoare utilizatorului, fie că vorbim de reducerea costurilor sau de acces la anumite servicii. De asemenea, acesta trebuie să creeze un randament al investiției pentru persoana sau organizația care a realizat respectivul produs.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Din a doua perspectivă, un produs de succes are o calitate superioară și oferă o serie de elemente unice în comparație cu alte produse competitoare. De asemenea, un produs tech are șanse crescute de succes dacă este primul în segmentul său de piață sau acoperă o nevoie pe care alte produse nu au abordat-o.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Povestind cu Davide Scalzo, Product Manager Octopus Lab, din Marea Britanie ne-a spus că: „Succesul depinde de tipul produsului și natura businessului. Unele produse sunt centrate foarte mult pe utilitate, de exemplu sisteme back-office sau site-uri e-commerce precum Amazon. Intenția utilizatorului este să rezolve cât mai repede treaba, astfel încât soluțiile sunt optimizate pentru acest lucru. Pentru aceste tipuri de produse tech este relevant să măsurăm succesul în ceea ce privește timpul de finalizare al acțiunii, activității și alte valori similare. Pentru alte produse, intenția vizează o parte inspirațională – fashion, călătorii, bunuri de lux sau rețele sociale. Aceste produse vizează partea de experiență a utilizatorului. Astfel, valorile pentru aceste produse sunt diferite și legate mai mult de obiectivele de business. Avem, de asemenea, frameworkul propus de Dave McLure –<<pirate metrics="">>– pe care îl consider extrem de util în a oferi o privire de nivel înalt referitor la unde se află businessul și pe ce ar trebuie să ne concentrăm în următorul semestru”.</pirate></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
În ceea ce privește exemple de produse tehnlogice de succes, menționez Hyperloop, companie a lui Elon Musk, care este descrisă ca fiind un mijloc de transport revoluționar, un hibrid între Concorde, proiectil și o tablă de hockey în aer. Pasagerii vor călătorii în capsule care levitează în interiorul unor tuburi masive, înconjurate de perne de aer. Va schimba nu doar modul de a călători, tehnologia, dar și timpul necesar parcurgerii distanțelor. De pildă, călătorii vor putea ajunge de la Londra la Edinburgh în doar 30 de minute, față de șase ore, cât durează în prezent.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>eJobs: Când vorbim de un produs tehnologic, cum ai descrie product managerul ideal?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Steliana Moraru: Un product manager ideal știe să asculte piața, să înțeleagă utilizatorii și colegii, are o viziune clară a produsului și, în plus, poate accepta că unele ipoteze sunt greșite, astfel că va schimba planul atunci când este necesar. Știe cum să organizeze informația, să filtreze opiniile care trebuie ascultate și cele care trebuie ignorate. Toate produsele de succes sunt rezultatul învățămintelor trase în urma multor experimente eșuate. Așadar, product managerul ideal reușește să își creeze autoritatea din faptul că greșește mult, învață repede și ajunge la success prin experimente. În fiecare rol există permanent loc de îmbunătățire, pentru că vorbim despre abilități pe care le rafinăm în timp, căutând succesul.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
De altfel, povestind cu speakerii de la Product Leaders, aș dori să redau opinia lui Gabriel Steinheardt, CEO Blackbot: „Un product manager trebuie să posede o multitudine de skilluri, printre care gândirea strategică și analiza. Responsabiliățile pot fi diferite de la o companie la alta, însă funcția principală a jobului este de contribui la a aduce valoare pe termen lung, prin crearea produsului respectiv. În ceea ce privește partea de business, consider că product managerii ar trebui să aibă următoarele patru competențe de business: expertiză în domeniu, expertiză funcțională, soft skills și aptitudini strategice. Acest lucru înseamnă să ai experiență specifică industriei, know-how tehnologic, cunoștințe cu privire la procese sau tooluri și tehnici de planificare și marketare a produselor, skilluri non-tehnice – mai ales de comunicare – utilizate în business și planificare pe termen lung, abilitatea de a lua decizii”.</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Evenimentul, organizat de <a href="http://mozaicworks.com/">Mozaic Works</a>, va reuni peste 30 de speakeri internaționali, care vor discuta pe teme specifice universului IT&C, precum software desing, inteligență artificială sau programare funcțională.</i></span><div>

<br /><b>eJobs: Ce așteptări aveți de la eveniment? </b><br /><br /><b>Steliana Moraru</b>: I T.A.K.E Unconference a devenit un reper în materie de evenimente destinate comunității tech internaționale. Iar acest lucru înseamnă că ne-am setat un standard de calitate al conținutului și al programului în primul rând în cadrul echipei. Sunt cel puțin trei obiective pe care le avem:<br /><br />√ să găzduim speakeri de talie internațională, cu ani buni de experiență în domeniul tech;<br /><br />√ să generăm conținut de calitate și raportat la ultimele tehnologii;<div>
<br />√ să avem un program invovator ca format, dar și complex, din care participanții să își extragă valoare pentru proiectele proprii și să experimenteze cu respectivele concepte chiar în cadrul evenimentului.<br /><br />Astfel, ne concentrăm pe creearea unui program hands-on, complex și technology agnostic (care acopera subiecte si practici aplicabile în orice tehnologie – trad.; n.red.). Acest lucru înseamnă o selecție riguroasă de vorbitori, printr-un proces de triere internațional. Avem în vedere cele mai noi tehnologii, trenduri și topicuri în domeniu. În ceea ce privește conținutul technology agnostic, acest lucru înseamnă că participanții, indiferent de backgroundul (experiența – trad.; n.red.) tehnic și de limbajul de programare folosit au acces la informație, resurse și exemple pe care să le utilizeze în propriile proiecte. Se discută pe cod, atât în prezentări, cât și în hands-on workshopuri și în sesiuni de live coding (scriere de cod în timp real – trad.; n.red.). Și asta ne bucură, pentru că încurajăm abordarea practică și exemplele concrete, din situații reale. Iată câteva exemple de întrebări la care ne așteptăm să primească răspuns participanții: „Ce provocări au existat în alte proiecte?”, „Ce probleme au întâmpinat?” și „Ce tehnologii au utilizat și cum?”. Mai mult, participanții pot să fie provocați de ceea ce află.<br /><br />Venim cu format de tip „unconference” (un format construit în jurul participanților – n.red.), fiind primul eveniment destinat industriei care pune în valoare și cunoștințele participanților. Acest lucru creează un mediu dinamic de învățare, de dezbatere și de discuții mai amplu decât discuțiile pe fugă din pauzele de la conferințele tradiționale. Mai mult decât atât, tocmai pentru că ne-am dorit să păstrăm acest sentiment de comunitate, de interacțiune reală, am decis să avem maximum 300 de participanți.<br /><br />Așadar, ne setăm așteptări mari în materie de conținut, program, discuții reale, bazate pe experiență și mult cod.</div>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
A brand is not just a logo, a website or your business cards…it’s an experience. — Jeff Bezos</blockquote>
<br /><br />What do you expect the attendees and speakers to feel after your event has ended? What is the promise you’re making to everyone involved, from speakers to attendees and partners? What makes them want to come back next year?<br /><br /><br />A memorable brand image turns speakers into promoters and increases the number of returning attendees. To become memorable, here are 5 things to consider:<br /><br /><b>#1 Name</b><br /><br />It all starts with the event name. I receive plenty of emails about events with similar names. The organizers neglect the power of a memorable name, not only for conferences but also for webinars or workshops.<br /><br />Tip: Don’t shy away from a catchy, easy to remember name. Get inspired by big, renowned events: Coachella, Burning Man, Collision, The Next Web.<br /><br /><b>#2 Hashtags</b><br /><br />#hashtags can create buzz, call to action, or be used as a mechanism to measure the success of your brand. Make sure speakers know it, attendees know it and encourage them to use it as much as possible. They help you strengthen the digital presence, attracting media coverage too.<br /><br />Tip: Don’t forget to use the #hashtag on each platform where your event is promoted, starting with Call for Speakers / Call for Papers stage. Encourage everyone involved to use it everywhere.<br /><br /><b>#3 Visuals</b><br /><br />When it comes to attention and memorability, what people see about your event is crucial. Every single piece of marketing and communication material must be aligned with a common style of colors, logos, and typography.<br /><br />Tip: A speaker’s badge to be added to their public profile, and a personalized poster aligned with your brand helps promote both event and speaker.<br /><br /><b>#4 Tagline</b><br /><br />The verbal identity of your event matters, too. The tagline carries the emotion you want to transmit. As part of your event brand, it should be consistent with visuals and the name.<br /><br />Tip: Find inspiration in your favorite movies, as they always have a memorable tagline. To mention just a few: Houston, we have a problem! (Apollo 13), Who ya gonna call? (Ghostbusters), Life is like a box of chocolates… you never know what you’re gonna get (Forest Gump).<br /><br /><b>#5 Branded items</b><br /><br />Last but not least, create a branded trademark for your event, find a twist that your speakers and attendees will remember long after the event is over. Be consistent, but original.<br /><br />Tip: Look for original ideas in other industries than yours. Examples of little gifts to bring home: branded teddy bears, board games, stickers, coasters, etc.<br /><br /><br />A memorable brand image is not an easy endeavor. Make sure your mission is carried on by what attendees and speakers take away from the event.<br /><br /><br />Roundup: Be consistent with your branding and start early. Don’t be afraid to be original and creative. Think of ways everyone involved can promote and engage with your brand way before D-day.<br /><br /><i>We at eventriX would love to hear the story of how you make your event a unique, memorable experience.

As we usher into the (hopefully) better 2017, many of us (myself included) start making lists and plans. I did learn he heard way how to make realistic plans and make them happen. I'm still improving, but I'm pretty proud of what I've achieved.<br />

<div>
There is definitely one plan I'm going to great lengths to keep it: reading as much as possible. I've set an ambitious goal for the year, to read 50 books. I didn't achieve this goal, but I'm not too unhappy. There is a trick: in a certain way, I've achieved this goal. This year I had to finish my Ph.D. paper so there was plenty of reading involved, but I didn't want to include much of it in the list below. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you are looking for inspiration for what to read in the next free days or set your reading list for 2017, find below the list of books I've read with some personal comments. Some of them are re-reads, as I was looking for some particular job inspiration. I didn't make notes for all, so feel free to ask me any questions in a comment. </div>

<b>Oliver Sacks - <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Move-Life-Oliver-Sacks/dp/0804170932">On the move</a>, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Awakenings-Oliver-Sacks/dp/0375704051/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1483116154&sr=1-1&keywords=awakenings+oliver+sacks">Awakenings </a></b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Oliver Sacks is one of my favorite authors in the world. I've discovered first his <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/26/opinion/my-periodic-table.html?_r=0">New York Times </a>articles and then the books. This year I've read his biography (On the move) and Awakenings. A little bit of background for Oliver Sacks - he was a world-renowned neurologist, an amazing author, a motorcycle enthusiast, weightlifter. This biography depicts his adult life: research, travel, writing, personal life, family background. I recommend you to read first Uncle Tungsten, a truly revealing writing depicting his childhood, his childhood battles, and science. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Awakenings" is the book that inspired the eponymous movie. It tackles the period when Oliver Sacks joined the Bronx Home for Incurables (currently Bronx's Beth Abraham hospital) and made research about the patients who were infected with the sleep-sickness after WWI (known as encephalitis lethargica virus). The persons who contracted this virus have been able to lead a normal life for years, before manifesting symptoms similar to the Parkinson disease.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
Another favorite author. I've been reading all the books I've found written by him, a long list is waiting, though. I enjoyed this writing from the first phrase: <i>The longing for a destiny is nowhere stronger than in our romantic life.</i> The book, the first Alain de Botton wrote, is a part fiction and part philosophical reflection on falling in love. A man falls in love with a lady he met on a flight. From this encounter, the reader can follow the narrator's feelings, inner traits, entering the relationship, and the sequence of events that follows.<br />
<br />
Another quote I've enjoyed: <i>We are all more intelligent than we are capable and awareness of the insanity of love has never saved anyone from the disease.</i><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<br />
As marketer, I truly value Seth Godin's books and articles. We Are All Weird is a first read, but All marketers are liars is a re-read. The first is a manifesto that touted the future of business and marketing as catering to the “weird". It depicts the people who live and thrive outside of the norm, outside of the masses. The second is more of blog-ish written book. I do remember I made plenty of noted when I've read it the first time, but now I've only taken some inspiration for my work. (if you are a young communicator/marketer this should be on your reading list)<br />
<br />
<br />
One quote from We are all weird: A<i>mplified creation, marketing efficiency and the support of tribes, then, are pushing toward one outcome: we’re getting weirder. Mass is withering. The only things pushing against this trend are the factory mindset and the cultural bias toward compliance.</i><br />

This one is right on my all time favorite reads. I've admired profoundly Jaqueline's Novogratz work during my years of working in the non-governmental sector. This book, part autobiography, part real-life example of how to have an impact in the international community, is an inspiration for me.

This was both part of my Ph.D. reading list and my work reading list. I've found plenty of inspiration for improving my vision and skills in what concerns the small bites of information I can pay attention. The book is part anthropological look of the author, part examples of improving business. For those looking for a more scientific/textbook approach, they will find more of an observation book. Lindstrom is on the road for 300 days/year and is terrific at discovering and unveiling the tiniest details that will make a difference in the end.<br />

Creativity has become an appanage of many public speeches and a prerequisite of each professional hat. In practice, companies do forget important things: the investment in creativity is usually minimal; unfortunately nowadays, everything is focused more on productivity, rather than creativity.</div>

Coined by Eduard de Bono, the 6 thinking hats techniques is a<strong style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;"> process, enabling the creative thinking</strong>. The technique involves “wearing” a different colored hat: black, white, red, green, yellow, and blue. By trying the hats, the team can explore more situations and redirect the flow of ideas.</div>

Green Light thinking can be associated also with brainstorming, as it involves the generation of as many ideas as possible, encouraging people to think of solutions they might overlook in other conditions. For the Red Light thinking, it involves an evaluation of each potential solution through certain criteria. Andy Green synthesis the process like this:</div>

This technique, inspired by Walt Disney strategy, focuses on a set of distinct stages to encourage creativity. According to this method, by using a specific flow builds parallel thinking that can be used to generate, evaluate, critique ideas and solve problems.</div>

When your team is in the stage of<strong style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;"> dreamers</strong>, allow them to <strong style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">brainstorm without any restraints</strong>. Ask questions like:</div>

Next, switch to the <strong style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">realist</strong> stage: filter the dreams, organize them and act upon.

The question of <em style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;">How to keep your team motivated</em> pops up in various discussions with managers. The reasons vary, but with the increasing generation gap (think Millenials are coming), learning this is a process that requires adjustment. Feedback helps us adjust the work behaviour and keeps the motivation level high.</div>

Gathering knowledge across a couple of years, there are a few ideas that stuck:</div>

Give intrinsic incentives? Show the small steps towards progress? Some of us do question this approach. Myself, after having experienced with working in international team, I’ve realised how important is to find the right, creative ways to keep people engaged, to work towards same goals while being happy and productive.</div>

I've always seen the New Year as a moment of wonder and reset. Taking time to be present, to dream, to have a look at how our year might look like, letting go of preconceived things, allows me to to have a better view on whats next for me. <br />
<br />
<br />
I rarely make New Year Resolutions though. I try to give a direction of where I would like to be one year from now, with whom, and where, and I just work to make things happen. As last year showed me, by the end of the period, your meticulous plan might end up being overwhelming and different.<br />
Each year, I try to review my working habits and personal patterns. Based on this assessment process, I try to change and improve, in order to increase my productivity and to achieve personal goals.<br />

For this blog, I have in mind a few ideas. The first of them is to switch the language from Romanian to English. When necessary, I will keep the posts in Romanian. Also, I am changing the series of web articles to the series 5 links. Other changes are on their way. <br />
<br />
<br />
Thank you for reading my posts and looking forward for a new, exciting online year! <br />
