Isn’t Life Great? - What kind of leader are you and what kind of teams, organization and company are you building around you?

-
You as a leader will impact teams, organization and company around you wheather you want it or not What kind of leader you are will obviously impact other leaders and the company culture. People don’t do what you tell them to do, but what you do.

Therefore make sure to take a minute now and then to think about how you are as a leader, how others perceive you and how you’re impacting others.


It’s unfortunately very easy to introduce the culture of cold blooded blame game and individualism just because you’re stressed and frustrated. But believe me, you don’t want to go there…not for yourself and not for the sake of your company or anyone else…

Remember and remind yourself about the levels-of-culture from “Tribal Leadership” that applies for any group of people, team, organization or whole company?

·         "All life sucks!"
      Stage One: The stage most professionals skip, these are tribes whose members are despairingly hostile—they may create scandals, steal from the company, or even threaten violence.

·         "My life sucks (but others might not)"
      Stage Two: The dominant culture for 25 percent of workplace tribes, this stage includes members who are passively antagonistic, sarcastic, and resistant to new management initiatives.

·         "I’m great (but you’re not)"
      Stage Three: 49 percent of workplace tribes are in this stage, marked by knowledge hoarders who want to outwork and outthink their competitors on an individual basis. They are lone warriors who not only want to win, but need to be the best and brightest.

·         "We’re great (but you’re not)"
      Stage Four: The transition from “I’m great” to “we’re great” comes in this stage, wherein the tribe members are excited to work together for the benefit of the entire company.

·         "Life is great"
      Stage Five: Less than 2 percent of workplace tribal culture is in this stage, wherein members who have made substantial innovations seek to use their potential to make a global impact.

Digitalization - How do I stay relevant? Netlight Edge Academy 2017 - our initimite digitalization festival all over Europe - will give some answers. #edge, #edgeacademy17, #genuine consultant, #netlight

Do you know what? The world is changing - the world is digitalizing. And I'm so happy to be part of it, as I easily get bored and feel good about being part of something greater (than myself). Digitalization is not about developing the best business plan, the best marketing plan and separately developing the best technology architecture. Digitalization is about pure business development where IT and IT architecture is part of your core business, not a support organization anymore. So, to compete in the digital race, IT Architecture must be a natural and crucial part of your every-day-business-development. Yes, the world is changing and so must we, to stay relevant.  How do I stay relevant?  By working in a place as Netlight built on the strong foundation of change, knowledge sharing and supporting each other. A natural win-win for all parties - employed, clients and Netlight as a company. Edge Academy, our intimate digitalization festival, is really our normal ...

What do you get when you mix competence, creativity and business sense together with a big portion of deep engagement and people who really cares? You get Edge Academy, an intimate yearly IT festival during a week happening in all Netlight offices all over Europe. By us consultants, for us consultants. Sounds interesting, one must really say, but what’s the agenda or theme? Of course whatever is currently relevant, or Edge as we call it within Netlight. That is whatever makes challenges or opportunities to our clients and our clients as being leaders and drivers of the digital future. What this may be in detail, all of our consultants know together (that’s why the agenda can’t be set by anyone else) so let’s have a peak into the schedule of what is currently Edge to us. Also this is as good answer as any to the question - what does Netlight actually do currently?  What we do in six months or in a year? Nobody knows, and that's the excitement, ask us then and we'l...

Is Microservices the future of all architectures? Is it "the" silver bullet for any company with a business critical IT?

      We all start there, with the famous Monolith Architecture. Why? Because it’s easy, it’s fast, it suits our needs just fine. Remember the first rule when distributing your systems – “Do NOT distribute your systems”, until you need it, then “Do NOT distribute your systems”, unless you really really really need it. So the Monolith is the perfect start for any start-up and can suit your need for a very long time, potentially forever.   So why bother understanding what Microservices is all about? There might come a day, when you feel you grow out of your Monolith. The size of your organization has grown quite a lot, your dev department is getting bigger, perhaps dev centers separated geographically. All you know is that growth is the only thing that will stay stable for the near future. Sooner or later I think you will start to see the typical signs of you outgrowing your Monolith (if not – congratulations, please tell me and the world how you did it); You s...
