Using trust to build teams

Trust is the buildingblock of all business relationships. Coincidentally, it's also the building block of well-functioning teams. Trust enables people to focus on the work instead of regulating the relationship, and keeping an eye, on what their colleague is doing. Cultivating a transparency culture and a feeling of trust within a well-performing team is paramount.

Things I wish I knew as a Junior Designer

As a Junior, I would've benefitted so much from someone telling me what I'd be facing, going into my design career.

Aren't we too focused on stats?

2020 is over, and Design and a Half is back in black, with a mean attack. What about ? Stats. They seem to be everywhere, and everything seems to be measured and quantified against stats. But are stats enough ? Are they the be-all and end-all of design ? Of Things in our lives ? Aren't we a bit too focused on getting high stats that we soemtimes lose sight over what's important ? Why we started, why we are doing what we do, and just enjoy our time ? The answer is yours to find. I'm just rattling the cage. :) Video Version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFy1TsKXzCk If you enjoyed this episode, consider liking, subscribing or sharing !

The Confidence to Disapprove

Sometimes people say things we don't agree with. Sometimes, we say those things. Whichever the case may be, there is a definite need to express one's disapproval with a situation, conversation or status quo. However, more often than not, those situations can get rather hairy. So, in order for us to get over them, we tend to give in to our most basic desire to forego conflict and discard our own belief. This could lead to dire consequences and may even send of a signal of lack of confidence and disposition to be influenced. Sometimes, we need to confidently say NO.

Leaders, Managers and Myths

Leaders, managers, leads and CEOs everywhere. But not a leader in sight. Well maybe that's not entirely true. There's plenty of leaders out there. But they might be buried knee deep in work, menial tasks, pushing from the back, where nobody notices them, not really wanting recognition for themselves but for their teams. In today's episode, I'm going to touch on the subject of leadership and management, what pushes us to pursue those changes. What motivates us to do it ? Why do we want to climb the corporate ladder ?

Do you use what you design ?

Did you ever try to use what you made ? Probably one of the simplest things to do, yet for some very difficult. The concept of dogfooding is something widely used in the tech industry nowadays when talking about using your own products and services to determine how good or bad they are, or to find out what their shortcomings are.
