On the Job by Anita Bruzzese How to Turn Down Ideas Without Bruising Egos

On the Job by Anita Bruzzese How to Turn Down Ideas Without Bruising Egos Managers often are told their teams need to be more innovative, but sometimes the ideas a team proposes just, well, stink. Experts advise how leaders can kill bad ideas without demoralizing the team or impeding new ideas. Theres nothing more fun or energizing than when a team is bouncing ideas back and forth, each proposal more creative or out there than the last. Then, the manager moves in and puts the kibosh on an idea the team is really jazzed about. Suddenly, the air leaves the room and team members are staring at the manager like he or she is the stuffy parent who just put an end to a teenagers really cool party in the basement. While team members cant leave in a huff and slam their bedroom door, they can withdraw mentally and emotionally. The result is a decline ininnovative ideasor even a drop in productivity as team members silently seethe over their idea being scrapped. But experts say there is a way that leaders can kill bad ideas while still keeping teams focused on innovation. For example, Jonathan Bendor, professor of political economics and organizations at Stanford Graduate School of Business,suggestsone solution is using a rubric, or scoring system. This way, a teams ideas are graded on various dimensions, such as technical merit and market potential, he explains. So instead of just saying This is no good! the rubrics helpproblem-solversdetermine why theyre stuck and what they can do about it. Probably the best thing about rubrics is that they shift the process away from egos and personalities, and more toward the nature of the problem itself, he says. Other experts echo Bendors advice about making sure team members understand that its nothing personal when ideas are killed. For example, leaders need to reinforce the message that only marketable ideas can move forward. Jason Fried, co-founder of 37signals and co-author of Rework,recallsa time when his company was building an initial version of Highrise, a Web-based contact management tool. We kept saying yes. Wouldnt it be cool ifYes! Oh, man, it should totally (continue reading here)

Starting a company in Silicon Valley is stupid

Starting a company in Silicon Valley is stupid One of the reasons I moved from New York City to Madison, WI is that I knew I would start another company. I wasnt sure what it would be, but I had already launched two startups, and I could feel another one coming. Its a sort of itch I get when I have too many ideas piling up in my head: I think to myself, One of these must be good for something. People ask me how I picked Wisconsin. The bottom line is that I wanted to be able to support my family and take the wild risks that come with having a startup. Supporting a family in NYC or Silicon Valley is insanely expensive especially for someone who has no cushion to fall back on during the months when funding is tight. (Which is a major reason you see lots of Silicon Valley startups from twentysomething men with no expenses and few startups from women with kids, and heated discussion on TechCrunch about salaries for founders who cant make ends meet.) So, here are some things to think about when you know you are going to do a startup, and you know you are going to move. 1. The first stage of a startup is constipation, which can happen anywhere. The beginning of a company is slow and meandering. You have pretty much no idea what the company is or what you are doing with it, or if you even picked the right partner to do it with. You sit in a room and argue for a while. And you throw in the towel ten times. And then go get it and try again. You develop a bunch of revenue models that are either so lackluster that they are not worth your time, or so outstandingly huge that they are not believable. During this time, it does not matter where you live. You are not hiring. You are not pitching your business because you dont have a pitch. And you are probably not spending much money because you know the near future does not include a lot of money coming in. 2. Angel funding is about fun, and you can get money in any state. Angel funding is local. You will need to get your first funding from people who live near you. This is because angels typically do not need more moneyafter all, they are investing in a crazy, half-baked idea that has a one in ten chance of making any money. So the angels are investing in a startup to have fun. They think the entrepreneur is cool, they think the idea is sexy, and they will tell their friends about it at cocktail parties. There are some things you cannot buy in life, and one of them is street cred. But angels try to do this with their startup investments. The good news about this is that there is angel money everywhere because, in every state there are some rich guys who want more spice in their life. As a person who had to pitch her social media company in Wisconsin without using the word blog, I can tell you with certainty that angels do not need to understand your business to be able to sniff out if youre the real deal. They invest because they like the person. You can get that funding anywhere. If you are likable. 3. If you stay small, you can stay put. Most companies do not get huge. This is because most companies never even get off the ground. (Not that this is a huge problem. Of course, failure is productive, and youll learn from it.) But most companies do not grow to be 50-100 people. If nothing else, that number of employees is usually out of the sweet spot of the founders who are managing the company. So they usually sell or go under before they get huge. If you are not going to get big, you do not need to take in venture capital. And if you are not going to take in venture capital, then you dont need to be where the big VCs are: New York and California. There is also the talent issue if you need 50 developers who are great with Ruby on Rails, thats gonna be hard in Tulsa. But finding three, thats possible. Especially if you can train one or two. 4. If you live in the boondocks, you need to fly. There is research from Babson College suggests that traits that make a successful entrepreneur do not point to a single personality type per sea very wide range of personalities can do a good job starting a company. But what differentiates successful entrepreneurs is networking skills. So while you dont need your network in your backyard (which you would have automatically if you lived in Northern California), you do need to be able to fly to your network frequently. The network you can build by just showing up in California or New York is unprecedented. And while LinkedIn is great for getting a bus dev guy, its not great for meeting entrepreneurs and swapping stories. You need to show up. I try to fly to each coast once a month. I book myself back to back for three days and then I return to Wisconsin to decompress. 5. Live in an expensive place only when you need venture capital. Most of you will not be going after venture capital. You simply will not have a business idea that warrants that kind of investment. And in that case, you will be bootstrapping for a long time. And its a lot easier to bootstrap in a place with a low cost of living. There will be months when you cannot pay people. There will be days when you worry you cant pay your own bills. You will fall behind much faster in Silicon Valley than you will in Iowa. And a big reason that startups fail is because the founders dont keep going searching for what will work. Living somewhere inexpensive gives you leeway: a way to have a decent lifestyle while youre gambling that a dream will come true. And, just like Facebook, and many, many other startups, if you do get to a point where its time to get huge, you can open offices in Silicon Valley. So, how do you decide where to live? Well, I took a bunch of research about what makes us happy and I concluded that living in a city where there is a low cost of living gave me more flexibility to create a life that was right for me. There are trade-offs in every city, but the most expensive cities demand the most expensive trade-offs. And, one more thing: You should move where your family is, or where theres anyone you know and love. Work does not matter as much as being close to people you love. So if youre still determined to do a startup in New York City, maybe you should relocate your loved ones as well.

The Dos and Donts of Contacting Candidates

The Dos and Donts of Contacting Candidates Finding suitable  candidates is one thing, however connecting with them and organising an interview with the hiring manager is another. When it comes to contacting candidates, there are some rules of thumb that recruiters should remember, so that they don’t destroy their professional reputations or  even that  of their  recruitment agency.   Here are a few things that you should do when contacting candidates  for the highest possible response  rate, as well as a few common mistakes to avoid for both your reputations sake and future opportunities.   DO  your homework: Before you contact a candidate, do your homework and make sure that there is a reason for you to make the contact. If you don’t have any jobs for a candidate, then they may not be interested in talking to you. They will be even less happy if they realise that you didn’t bother to look at their resume before you picked up the phone to call them and go on to  find  that the candidate isn’t a good fit for the job after the initial contact.   Make references to things they have mentioned in their resume and ask them to elaborate on them. This way it will indicate to them that you have taken the time to read up on them and are genuinely interested in the conversation. DONT  be rude: Contacting someone having not done your homework can come across as quite rude; and just because a candidate isn’t the right fit for a job or isn’t as good as you expect doesn’t mean that you can cut them off on the phone.   Manners are important when contacting candidates, as it is important that you give a positive impression of yourself whether they are right for the role or not. If you organise a phone call with somebody, be punctual, as chances are that they have set aside time in their day to take the call. the same goes for responding to emails. Being rude to a candidate will cost you your reputation because people will  talk to each other. If they have a bad experience, they will tell their friends, and their friends will tell their friends. DO make it personal: It is unlikely that many people will respond to you when it is obvious that you have done a copy and paste job to dozens of people. Sure, it does save time to recycle the same message time after time, but trust me, its obvious. By taking the time to do a bit of research about the individual and tailoring your message to their background the candidates will take you more seriously and it will greatly increase your response rate.   DON’T post and pray: Posting an ad or in a LinkedIn group then waiting for candidates to come to you is the lazy way to recruit. Make the effort to engage with, build relationships and have a conversation with people. DO follow up: Even when a candidate is not a good fit for a job, follow up with them. Job seekers get really frustrated when they apply for a job and never received a response, and they are not shy about sharing their feelings with others. Treat your candidates with the same respect and courtesy you extend to your customers, and it will definitely pay off in the long run. DONT use your candidates’ professional references as marketing contacts: Some candidates may have very impressive references. Their former managers and supervisors may seem like great marketing material for your staffing agency. However, as tempting as it is, do not use them as marketing contacts. In the worst case scenario, the manager will inform the candidate about this and you will never get any business from the candidate and his/her former employers. DONT wear out your candidates’ professional references: When you have a primary candidate for a job opening, ask the candidate for permission to contact his or her professional references. Don’t call them until you get the permission or when you are sure that the candidate is the perfect fit for the job. In addition, don’t call the references three or four times because these are busy people. They may refuse to give you any good references if you call them too many times. DO sell the job and company: Hiring is a two way street and it is just as important for you to sell the job and company, as it is for the candidate to promote their skills and experience. If you do not make the role sound desirable, candidates will not feel compelled to take it further and you will struggle to fill the position. DO stay connected with candidates who dont fit the role: You may know straight away that the individual you have contacted isn’t right for the job  them  self, but that  doesn’t mean you should end the  conversation straight away. You never know who they may know and they may be able to make a very useful  referral. Each phone call is a networking opportunity so make the most of the chance to make contacts.   Photo credit: Shutterstock

Random acts of coffee - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog

Random acts of coffee - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog Yesterday I spoke in Tel Aviv at the national HR Magazine conference and today Im flying to Las Vegas to visit Zappos (one of the worlds happiest workplaces). Unfortunately my flight was cancelled leading to mob-like scenes at the check-in counter when all the passengers went there at once to get re-booked on other flights. The counter staff were honestly trying their best, but some people were yelling at them and interrupting them. One employee was visibly close to tears. I was pretty tired and stressed myself. But at one point I asked myself what I could do to cheer the staff up, so I went over to the nearest airport caf? and bought coffees and cookies for them. Then I went over to them and just said Hey, I can see how hard you guys are working, so I brought you coffee and cookies. It cheered up both the staff and some of the people waiting in line. I met one of the staff later in the day and she said that it had made her a little happier. She was also carrying the rest of the cookies, which she was bringing to share with some other co-workers. It took me about 5 minutes, cost me 10 bucks and it even made me able to relax a lot more. Im going to do this again the next time I find myself in a stressful situation, Im going to see if I cant do something nice for someone else to lighten the mood. Have you ever done something similar? Tell me about it in a comment. Thanks for visiting my blog. If you're new here, you should check out this list of my 10 most popular articles.
