March 15, 2017

Work on the video - 5 minutes 57 seconds talk, Managers at Google.

First round taking notes 9:50pm - 9:55pm

Do you feel well managed by your superior?

Traditional sense of the world. Traditional management, holdover from industry management, like
an assembly line.

For creative role, solve engineering problem. As a manager, serve you very well.

Move obstacles. Career moves direction.

The place expects you to self-driven. Treat you like an adult. Either you get work done, or you do not.

Micromanagement does not scale. Get next thing need to be done.


Give you trust -

Fail
Freedom is your responsibility - something is wrong ......

management culture is pretty cool.

You would be some one's mother. It is like a day care. Have you done your work yet?

Not many command and control.

If you fail, no one to blame.
