No matter what business you’re in or what position you hold, there’s one guarantee.
**Everyone hates annual reviews.**
* Big companies hate them because reviews are a potential point of conflict that mean stacks of paperwork and missed hours of production.
* Small companies hate them because reviews destroy the idea that everyone is just one big happy team.
* Managers hate reviews because they don’t want to appear like Big Brother breathing down the worker bees’ necks. \* And employees hate them because they never know what’s coming--a raise or a reprimand.
The reality is that everyone’s fumbling around for a good framework, hoping that this uncomfortable time for judging employee performance can pass without too much drama or antacid consumption.
This deck explains how you can conduct better annual reviews for your programmers.

Here are 7 out of 12 tips on how to be a better leader at work. For 5 more tips of this type, click the link: http://vkool.com/how-to-be-a-better-leader/.
1. Lead By Example
It has been proven that leaders should show, not only say. Therefore, if you want your staffs to be punctual and principled, you ought to be the first person who follows the rules. You should always be at work on time, or even early. If you appreciate professionalism, dress for success, as well as, treat your staffs with courtesy. When you have a good tone, your staffs will respect you, and consider you a good example to follow.
2. Add In A Little Humility
Humility is a good quality that a leader should have. When you are humble, you will see others’ good points to respect them. Being modest will also help you conquer your ego if you are a hot-temper person. This will help prevent you from scolding or shouting when your staffs do something wrong. If you have a little humility, your staffs and customers will look up to you, as well as, feel safe and reliable when working with you.
3. Learn From Your Team
You should not think that you know all no matter how knowledgeable you are. A wise leader is the one who can learn from others. Everyone has something good for us to learn from. Thus, do not think that the people who are at lower positions than you at work have nothing for you to discover. Learn something new from your staffs each day to be better informed on making strategic decisions.
4. Share What You Learned
Besides learning from your staffs, you should also share what you have learned outsides to them. This will help your team know more about the market and work better to meet its demand. Passing the lessons you learned to your staff is one way to help your team avoid pitfalls.
5. Communicate Effectively
If you are a leader, you should learn to communicate effectively with your staffs. Good communication will not only help you understand your employees and build a good relationship with them, but also help you catch up on the important information on the market so as to change your trading strategies to meet its demand. Great leaders should not only be understood and heard, but also listen as communication is like a two-way street.
6. Keep Meetings Productive
In order to keep meetings productive, you should make it short by going straight to the main purpose rather than talking around it. Everything presented in the meetings should be clear and well prepared.
7. Understand Your Limits
No matter how kind you are, being a leader, you should have your own limits. Set your own boundaries to your staffs, and let them know what you will not tolerate so as to make them try their best in difficult case; otherwise, they may quit easily.

Building And Releasing an Online Game From Nothing With NoOps - ChefConf 2015Chef
Over the last two years we have built not just the game and the supporting software for what it takes to make an online game, but the team and the culture to support it. Using the tools for the right job: programming languages, frameworks, external services, open source tooling, development patterns and processes, we've been able to do so without over-hiring and instead fully embracing a DevOps culture.
In this talk you'll experience this story from to back. Come hear how Undead Labs grew from a small 20 person game development shop creating a single player XBox 360 Live Arcade Game, State of Decay, to a multi-game studio bringing State of Decay and more to the online space. You'll hear how we leveraged Elixir, Unity, Chef, C# on Mono, and other tools to create the foundations of Undead's online platform while simultaneously developing multiple games and the personnel required for the studio's future.

Defusing Frustrating Situations with Gentle CorrectionsMarcus Blankenship

Defusing Frustrating Situations with Gentle CorrectionsMarcus Blankenship
Let me tell you a story.
Bob the Coder is a great guy. He shows up on time, turns in quality work, and is reliably positive and easy to work with. You’re very glad he’s on your team.
But there’s a problem.
Your company has a policy that requires employees to turn in timesheets every week by 5 p.m.--no exceptions. You’re not a big fan of this policy because it seems archaic, but because the top brass have decreed it and it’s part of the company culture, you go along with it.
Bob, however, does not.
Every week, you notice his timesheet missing from stack that you submit each week.
When you remind him, he quickly fills it out and turns it in, but it always requires that extra effort on your part, and it’s getting old.
**What should you do?**
Becoming a new manager is an experience that falls somewhere between elation and enduring the business end of a fire hose. In either case, those comfortable days of answering for the quality for your work and your work alone are gone.

Lead from the Podium: 6 Essential Concepts New Technical Managers MissMarcus Blankenship
The transition from programmer to Team Lead or Software Manager can be a difficult one.
One week, you're in your cubicle cranking out masterful code, and the next, you're managing a whole team that has to navigate innovative solutions, coordinate input from different departments, then anticipate and eliminate potential showstoppers.
Stepping away from your identity as a superior coder into a role in management requires a whole new perspective on your work. Grasp the difference now, and you'll save yourself months of frustration, friction, and fumbling.
Here's the biggest realization that most new managers miss: **you're not a production unit anymore**.
Starting now, you're a leader. An encourager. A troubleshooter. A BS-caller. Most of all, you’re communication hub.
Your daily focus is no longer the perfection and elegance of your code, it's the creation of something much larger using the coordinated work of many other people.
**In other words, it's all about communication and responsibility**.
Yes, we've all done it.
I've done it. My managers have done it. And most likely, it's the default setting for many battle-worn team leads.
In those crisis moments when expectations are high, everything is going off the rails, and the deadline was yesterday, all new software managers will utter one fateful sentence.
** *"It would be so much faster if I just did this myself."* **
Then they pick up the IDE, close the office door, and retreat into the code.
What they don't realize is that they've just kicked off a chain reaction of negative work practices that will plague their team for months.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
Specific ServPoints should be tailored for restaurants in all food service segments. Your ServPoints should be the centerpiece of brand delivery training (guest service) and align with your brand position and marketing initiatives, especially in high-labor-cost conditions.
