Leadership Init();

For whatever reason, whenever I write code, I use the constructor to do some stuff to get the main object loaded – some basic stuff – setup some variables and collections but when it comes to getting things going… woo boy… that’s when we call Init(). Init is what gets things going, it’s what makes code sing, it’s what starts the day at the races and gets your app up and running. When I call Initialize (or Init as seen quite often), it’s doing the heavy lifting to figure setup things and get the job done. I like using Init

Deliver for a Company or Deliver for yourself

Team Culture is a Nudge

I’ve been having this conversation with people over the last few weeks about Team Culture. What it takes to make it successful, what elements should go into it, who you should follow, etc, etc. There are a few core elements to this discussion but one that I always like to remind myself of – developing that team culture where everyone gets along, works together, does more together than apart, knows where each are weak, others are strong and they work together to fill in the gaps – that team culture – it doesn’t happen all at once.
