However,

00:00:08

Tim did not know how to manage performance.

00:00:11

Clear expectations.

00:00:13

Tim had vague expectations.

00:00:15

He would repeat

00:00:17

the important thing is to improve performance.

00:00:19

No smart goals or KPIs to illustrate what he meant by improving performance.

00:00:25

Validate competence.

00:00:27

As for validating competence,

00:00:29

Tim believed everyone knew what they had to do.

00:00:32

He ignored the necessity of validating skills.

00:00:36

Training,

00:00:36

in his view,

00:00:37

was a gift offered to the best elements,

00:00:39

not a necessity.

00:00:41

Good work organization.

00:00:43

The organization of work resembled a complex spider web.

00:00:47

The Eisenhower matrix was a foreign concept.

00:00:50

Priorities delivered by Tim were determined by

00:00:52

the urgency of the last email received.

00:00:55

Everything could change in an instant.

00:00:57

Fluid collaboration.

00:00:59

Collaboration in the team was minimal.

00:01:02

Tim let remote workers work in isolation.

00:01:05

He had given up on team meetings and work groups.

00:01:07

He didn't want to disturb,

00:01:09

but he repeatedly said,

00:01:10

If you need to talk,

00:01:11

I'm here.

00:01:13

Efficient tools.

00:01:15

Efficient tools were relics of the past.

00:01:17

Slack,

00:01:18

Jira,

00:01:18

and Trello were exotic names.

00:01:21

Communication was done through bottles thrown into the open space C or

00:01:25

via 50 line emails and 10 attachments that nobody wanted to open.

00:01:30

Recognition and motivation.

00:01:32

Recognition was a mirage,

00:01:34

motivation a distant dream.

00:01:37

Positive feedbacks were like eclipses,

00:01:39

rare and mysterious.

00:01:41

Tim believed that work was its own reward.

00:01:43

He thought that doing one's job well was

00:01:45

normal and didn't deserve to be highlighted.

00:01:48

Measuring goal achievement.

00:01:50

When Tim wanted to measure goal achievement,

00:01:52

he was in trouble since goals had not been fully defined.

00:01:55

They were changing and no indicators had been set.

00:01:59

One day the news fell like a guillotine.

00:02:02

Tim was fired.

00:02:04

He had neglected the golden rules of performance for too long.
