The Problem with Disgruntled Former Employees

belonging by Rick0 comments

We’ve all at least known, if not actually been, a disgruntled former employee.  Disgruntled former employees (DFE’s, for short), are often problematic in the eyes of management. After all, they’re often the loudest, most publicly opposed to leadership. They’re completely unhampered by any societal obligations to their now-ex-coworkers, and unless […]

Building in Public

Blog by Rick0 comments

I’ve been thinking a lot about Kaiju Coaching this weekend, and something I’ve come up with is that I’ve been pretty unclear about who I serve specifically.  “Leaders” and “those with impostor syndrome” are pretty general, and since I’ve also been reflecting on copywriting (probably because I’ll be head coaching […]

Minimum Viable Project

Blog by Rick0 comments

You might have big dreams about how something is going to get created, or implemented, or launched.

Shipping Expectations

Blog by Rick0 comments

My wife was told her package was late, and she was pleasantly surprised when it came a few days prior to when she was expecting it. It was still later than initially planned, but quicker than her most recent expectations. I ordered something online and was told due to warehouse […]

Limits to the Hiring Process

bias by Rick0 comments

When reviewing candidates for a job position that got an overwhelming amount of applications, I realized how many rad people there are in the world. It makes me a bit sad that there’s only one position for so many amazing individuals, and this process has also helped me realize there […]

Launching Like a Slug

Blog by Rick0 comments

Our society tends to think about launching as some massive event. There are tons of entrepreneurial products around the idea of organizing massive events to gain critical mass. There’s visions of exploding out onto the scene, fully formed. Think BTS performing on a stage around a live birth going on […]

Cavities

belonging by Rick0 comments

Running a team or an organization is difficult. Often there will be many small problems that get ignored or pushed to the side in the pursuit of the greater goal. And while this is understandable, you don’t want to let these issues fester. Especially if they’re things that don’t often […]

The Perfect Time

bias by Rick0 comments

We always hear about the perfect time. We fear being too early, but also fear about being too late. Whether we’re talking about when to arrive at a social gathering, when to invest in something, when we should launch something new, or whether or not to jump on a new […]

Convention Tabling

Blog by Rick0 comments

In the world of comic conventions, there’s a lot of trust between vendors. We’ll ask someone we’ve never met, who just happens to be placed next to us in the aisle, to watch our tables if we leave to go to the restroom or grab something to eat. There’s a […]
