HR slang drives me crazy. We must have all the silly abbreviations that describe things that are not understood by anyone: OKR and PIP. I think we can do business just by talking to each other like normal people. We can actually do more.

[How do we work] in the page Develop Urself

I always wanted to be an HR specialist, I wanted to be able to speak in the language of management. And do you know what I have learned after all this? I think that's not important. There are many things we call "best practices" that are not best practices at all. How do I find out the best? We do not measure these things. In fact, I have learned that best practices usually mean copying other people's activities. Our world is constantly changing and developing.

Here are a few lessons to help you adapt.

Lesson One: Your employees are adults.

You know we have created so many layers and processes and so many guidelines to keep employees where they are. After all, we have a system that treats people like children. And they are not. Trained adults come every day. They have payment for rent, they have obligations, they are members of the community, they want to make a difference in the world. So if we assume that everyone comes to work to do great work, you will be surprised by what you get.

Lesson Two: The job of management is not to control people,

Very good for team building. When managers form a great team, you know it's like this. You have done extraordinary things. The customer is very satisfied. This is a very important metric. Not an indicator for: "Did you come to the office on time?" "Are you taking your vacation?" "Do you follow the rules?" "Have you asked for permission?"

Lesson Three: People want to work, which means something. After they do this, they must be free to move forward.

Career is a journey. No one will want that in 60 years. The idea of ​​protecting people to protect them really hurt them both. What if we start a company that is a great place? And everyone who leaves you becomes an ambassador not only for your product, but also for you and the way you work. And if you spread this excitement all over the world, we will improve all our companies.

Lesson 4: Everyone in your company needs to understand business.

Assuming that we have smart adults here, the most important thing we can teach them is how our business works. When I see fast-moving companies that are truly innovative and do amazing things with agility and speed, it's because they work together. The best thing we can do is to continually teach ourselves what we do, what is important to us, what we measure, what kindness is, so that we can all try to do the same thing.

Lesson Five: Everyone in your company must be able to face the truth.

Do you know why it is very difficult to provide feedback? You do not practice. Let's look at the results every year. What else do you do in your life that is only good once a year? Here's what I discovered: People can hear everything if it's true. So let's rethink the word "feedback" and think about telling others the truth, honest truth,

about what they did right and what they did wrong when they did it. That's a good thing you just did, mom! I'm talking about that. Do it again. And people will do it three more times today.

Lesson Six: Your company must run its grades.

I recently spoke with a company, a CEO. He was in trouble because the company was rocky and many things did not arrive on time and he felt everything was soft. He was also a person who, I noticed, never came to the meeting on time. Someone.

When you become part of a leadership team, the most important thing you can do to "defend your values" is to live it. Humans cannot become what they cannot see. We say: "Yes, we are here for equality" and then proudly slaughter our breasts because we have reached 30% of the women's quota in the management team. Not the same, 30 percent.

Lesson Seven: All startup ideas are stupid.

I spend a lot of time with startups and I have many friends who work in bigger and more established companies. I always work with companies below. "That's a stupid idea." Do you know? All of your startup ideas are stupid. If that made sense, someone else would have done it.

Lesson 8: Every company must be happy with change.

Beware of the nostalgic smoke. When you say to yourself, "Do you remember how it used to be?" I want you to change your mind and say, "Think about how it will turn out." If I had a dream company, I would go to the door and say, "Everything has changed, all bets are closed. We run right as fast as possible and now we go left." And everyone will say "yes!" This world is very interesting and always changing. The more we are involved and passionate about it, the more fun we will have.
