December is quiet. Not much is happening.
I think we can all use a bit of a break and have next two weeks a bit lighter in meetings and chats. However, January will be anything but slow. Here is what I am planning: - Jan 2nd - Friday - a intro/retrospective on the entire year, - Following week - goal-setting workshop - how I go about my one year vision - Shortly after we will do a budgeting workshop, a gerinner friendly introduction to project finance. I hope to see you all there

Feedback: solution for managing parts across teams
Hi all, Requesting some feedback on a project I’m working on. The task at hand is to coordinate the process of “parts” through a series of steps, involving over 30 people from 6+ teams. Each team had their own solution but eventually became defunct due to the resources (time) it took to update. I’m proposing a smart sheet that allows teams to have their own sheet for details only relevant to themselves, and then a master sheet that will be auto populated/managed myself. Also going to add a dashboard as an easier way to visualize how things are running. Any feedback from you all would be appreciated!

Let's chat!
It has been quiet here... What everyone is working on right now and what are everyone's goals/insights?

I started my new role at Kardium today! It’s been a busy few weeks while I wrapped up my tasks at CPABC. Goals for this month are to settle down into the flow of things, and building connections with the (many) teams I’ll be working with.

Vacation is over what now
I came back from vacation to 924 emails and 99+ messages on my MS Teams. But reviewing it all wasn't my first step when I logged back in, instead I reached out to all 4 people I delegated my tasks to and asked for a quick status, and I reached out to my manager to see what my top priority for the day is. What is your first step when you get back from a longer vacation?

Wow, 900+ emails? I’m considering myself lucky now as I came back with around 300 over a span of 2 weeks. First thing I did was check my calendar for any meeting invites that were sent while I was away. Second is to go through a chunk of emails every hour to make it easier on myself. Lastly, connect with my boss to discuss what’s been going on the past two weeks for them, and if there’s any pressing information that needs to be passed onto me.

Overrated advice
What’s one leadership or management tip you keep hearing… that you personally call B.S. on? I will go first: Fake it till you make it - saying like that does not really exist in Polish culture, I don't think it actually works. People will see through it and I think this approach will only result in lost trust. And I don't think you need to do it either. In a world where you can obtain any knowledge and you can ask AI anything, you can easily say, I don't know how to solve this problem, but I know how to find out, then I will figure out how to apply a solution. If anything, it will build trust instead of diminishing it.

This may be a bit controversial, although I’m a person to tell it straight - no beating around the bush. Some companies have adapted an extreme “cushy” feeling to the way we speak to each other - while it creates a zero-tolerance policy for bullying and harassment in the workplace, I find my colleagues struggle to convey their actual message with this in mind. I will state that many companies aren’t on the far end as I stated, although I personally have seen it in my workplace(s).

@Gerard Pietrykiewicz I'm on the same wavelength as you - it truly depends on the environment and people you surround yourself with. Seeing my father viewed as successful due to his method of telling it straight to his colleagues, I picked it up unconsciously over the years. There were times in my current job where I bit my tongue to make sure I wasn't crossing the boundaries set by the culture. Definitely difficult to do at times, although being extra clear in our communication(s) is truly the only way to get around it.
