This week we are back with David Sobeski and Part II of the talk with him.
David talks about his interpretation of the Oprah Winfrey theory and how it can be applied in management.
He tells us how he is using 1 on 1 walks with his direct reports to get out of the confined environment that is the office space and how that changes things.
We talk extensively about the difference between US and European work culture and the importance of being passionate about what you do. David is dreading the notion of "just having a job" when it should/could be "that you want to change the world".
IT or technology? David expresses his annoyance with my use of the term IT to define what, in his view, is the technology department and how this difference in expression effects motivation of tech teams.
Different backgrounds, different semantics. Or?
He dives deep into the question whether your colleagues and employees also can be your friend and he talks about being fearless, speaking your mind without fear and agree to disagree and not take things personally in the corporate environment.
As well, in this episode, Ariel and Mats talk about how the last 2 podcast topics influenced and were aligned with their own experiences, in their debrief.
