Being consistent and showing up everyday. Whether it’s marketing content or product iteration getting 1% better everyday adds up exponentially over time.
I think being consistent is more important than being motivated
I was a perfectionist. After unfortunate results, I forgave what I did and solved problems. Anything happens, current situation leads the way with previous performance.
Sometimes done is better than perfect, right?
Outwork everyone, be respectful, responsible, accountable, humble, and patient. Good things will come.
You listed all the good things thanks :)
Be accountable, humble and patient. Good things take time and persistence is key! This is especially true and comforting to remember in bad days when things are going sideways.
Absolutely! When things aren't going as planned we should remember these.
Less of a skill and more of a practice, but not engaging in office gossip. When you're out for your coworker's best interests, it makes collaboration 100% more effective and enjoyable.
Choosing to focus on positive and constructive communication, and supporting our colleagues rather than talking behind their backs, can help build a more positive and productive work environment.
.gul absolutely!
Time management is literally everything, if you don't manage your time properly everything will be delivered sub par
Yes Chef! We need to learn to manage your time when working on tight schedules
Communication, a good communication flow between each team / team members could really increase the productivity and reduce bottleneck
Having a clear and open flow of communication is essential for everyone in team
Mindset is everything and I mean everything.
A positive and growth-oriented mindset is very important for all of us!
Be honest in everything you do.
When we are honest in our actions and interactions with other team members, we build stronger relationships based on trust and mutual understanding.
As a Product Designer, I'd say that having a good relationship with the Programmers Team is the key. Before I learned that, I used to overestimate the technical feasibility of some features I was designing, because I wasn't including programmers in design reflexions at all. On some projects, we had to initiate some major changes on high fidelity prototypes that were way too complex to code in a short period of time.
