When I give feedback, I'm straightforward—no sugarcoating or euphemisms. I focus on clarity to ensure the message is understood and areas for improvement are clear. That way, everyone benefits. #Leadership #Feedback #ContinuousImprovement

I learned at least as much from bad managers as I learned from good ones. Knowing how it feels when my manager did all the wrong things, made me aware of what I didn't want to be.

A senior executive once told me: “There’s always a lot of politics. What changes is just your awareness and your influence on it as you have more senior roles.” As time passes by, I can understand better and better what she meant.

My main productivity hack: a long sequence of good nights of sleep. It sounds simple and obvious, but definitely not easy to achieve!

Everyone in the business is responsible for making it a success. Engineers, agile coaches and scrum masters should also think about the business, not just the product manager.

A great leader will work to have the trust of his people. To build this trust is sometimes easy and others not. A lot depends on the culture of the organization and what people already think of the leader (even if he is coming from outside).

For years we see videos of what is possible in the robotic field but it was always far from reality for the general population. Elon Musk will make it normal.

You try something new and two close people have completely different reactions: one makes fun of you; the other one shows interest and supports you. Appreciate the reactions. Life is helping you with your selection.

Lately I'm seeing some email threads that feel like a conversation between AI to AI instead of colleagues working together. Please, don't do it! Instead, write your ideas and if you're unsure, use AI as a counselor or corrector, but not as the one writing it!

One of the skills that I see the best Executives around me using all the time is self-reflection. Take a moment to look back in time, and reflect. When I do it, it works better if I'm writing. Thoughts don't escape and I can go back to read it in the future.

A 6 minutes AI podcast doing a deep dive of a document that just says "Poopoo Peepee" over and over again. 🤦 youtu.be/gfr4BP4V1R8?si…

A team has to constantly measure and check their results. Measuring results is like using a compass—it shows if you're heading in the right direction. Ignore it for too long, and finding your way back becomes much harder and sometimes not even possible.
