Great Startups Run on Feedback

[Jen Dennard at Startup Soup]

A culture of open, direct feedback is important for any organization to foster. Jen Dennard has some great tips here:

"Like most things, the key to getting the value is to make it a habit. Set aside time during 1:1s or make a recurring team meeting (like a monthly retro) to create space for feedback and learnings. Make sure to include critical and positive feedback to help build confidence while driving progress. Ask for feedback on new processes and team goals."

I think this last piece is particularly crucial. Feedback more meaningful - and more useful - when it goes in both directions. Taking feedback at the same time you're giving it means that you're building trust - and getting an early signal on where you might be going wrong as a leader.

Next Thursday, May 22nd at 6 pm, there’s going to be a Homebrew Website Club Düsseldorf. Co-organised by Schepp and myself, we plan this to be the first HWC event in a series of regular events. I quote from the IndieWeb wiki page to explain what an HWC is: Homebrew Website Club is a growing world-wide network of meetups for everyone who wants to take back their web experience from social media silos, and own their online identities & content, or just want support with blogging! So, ...

Sheldon Lake State Park. The ponds used to be part of a fish hatchery, then closed in 1975 and let nature take over. We saw some alligators. 🐊

The Democrats need an entrepreneur at the top. Stop doing things as they’ve always been done because the media has changed. The old rules no longer apply.
