What would I do better if I had Delorean Leadership on bad examples Anna Kurylo Project Hackraft, Women Techmakers Kyiv Lead, EMEA Anita Borg Scholar

– Dwight D. Eisenhower “Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.”

Things to talk about today ● ways to fail your project ● things you need to know (and use) anyway ● what to do if you’re too awesome

And how to avoid them Ways to fail

1. Goals 80% of people keep their goals only in their minds. They fail. So always write down things you want to achieve.

2. Planning ● Washington ● Checklist

3. Team ● If someone doesn’t care — why take them? ● Separation of responsibilities ● Listen to Masha (she will tell more)

4. Deadlines are made for you to follow them.

Be ready for everything I mean, EVERYTHING (Think like a QA)

5. Before the project finishes ● Checklist ● Remember: you’re not done yet ● Work even harder

Things you need to know anyway

Time management ● key tasks for the day ● start from things you hate ● don’t forget to put “sleep” into your list

Writing skills ● being concise ● paragraphs!!! To read: Саша Карепина “Искусство делового письма”

Communications ● no sarcasm ● honesty ● responsibility ● clear tasks ● network anytime you can ● volunteer!

If you’re too awesome

If you’re too awesome, then ● look around ●...

One more thing Don’t take too much
