Measuring Success
Mike explains how there’s a lot to measure. “… you’re looking for new challenges with [employees[. Some of them like the marketing aspect, prefer to work with a client. Some of them like the technical aspect prefer to be with a peer technically and figuring out this great engineering challenge and really don’t want to have to do that business development or the political aspects of what we do from a consulting standpoint. So it’s just kind of feeling and understanding how everybody’s interacting and working together.”
Career Advice
Mike says, “Don’t assume that perfection is what our clients are looking for.” He says own up to mistakes and focus on building relationships — they are the key to success in this industry.
Pick of the Week
Mike’s pick is TED talks. Find one’s that relevant to you and your life and take them in.
Tim’s pick is a TED talk in which Jake Shimabukuro plays the Queen classic ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’, on a ukelele. If you ever thought something wasn’t possible, watch this, then think again.
