Saying what is coming

Hello everyone!

Today I'll talk about managing a team. I'll share with you all the best tips for managing a team of 5-10 people.

I will share tips on how to unite your team to work for the result. I'm going to consider 5 main tips:

• Be a leader, not a manager: how to spark a team with an idea;
• Invest in team development: get some budget for studies, books, educational activities. Don't cover the full tuition fees — cover just the part of it. Your team members must invest in education;
• Share your experience, share how you cope with multitasking and achieve results. Give some examples;
• Soft Leadership: how to combine mentoring and softness with tough management?
• Planning and deadlines: how to work effectively?
• Dream team: how to gather people with the same values?
