Here are the main notes out of an hour talk. You <a href="http://www.guykawasaki.com/">can find out more about Guy Kawasaki here</a> - it's not too self-helpy - so don't worry.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Do not enchant the CxO</span><br /> • The people who you need to speak with and impress are at a lower level in organisations you want to work with<br /> • Don't waste time trying to enchant the boss<br /> • At a lower organisational level these are the guys that actually do the work<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Great enchanters know who to speak and pitch</span><br /> • Customise your introduction -<br /> • Sell your dream 'there's an app for that'<br /> • 10 slides | 20 minutes | 30pt font size<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Provide Value</span><br /> • Information, insights and assistance when using social media tools - we do not care about what you have for lunch.<br /> • Great Engagement: BE FAST to MANY and OFTEN<br /> • You have no idea about who is going to make your service tip it might be LonelyBoy15 - everyone has value in the social media sphere<br /> • There is a misconception that once you've done everything you can kick back and relax and spark up twitter - it need to be constant.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Enchant Up</span><br /> • Drop everything else when your boss asks you to do something - if you think this is not optimal - it's because you don't know your bosses reality.<br /> • Prototype fast - when you're asked to do something, don't wait until it's perfect - show your boss what you're working on. Am I on the right page here? Higher probability that you will deliver the right thing.<br /> • Deliver Bad news early - never surprise your boss bad news and always deliver it with solutions<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Enchant Down - Provide a MAP for your colleagues</span><br /> • Mastery - you will understand these new things/you're going to improve your skill set here<br /> • Autonomy - we are not going to micro-manage you)<br /> • Purpose - working autonomously for a higher purpose.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Empower Action in Your Colleagues</span><br /> • I trust you<br /> • I think you're smart<br /> • Do what it takes to get the job done<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Suck It Up </span><br /> • Never ask someone to do something you would not do.Andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11212939559003387714noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2327412961663731858.post-6063308546789185822011-03-09T11:16:00.001+00:002011-03-09T11:24:27.950+00:00LaFaro SXSW Showcase Poster<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlWTl7XIirZLtL3yUC8wO_PEMFoBfnTxZc55iMWY6h4AB4MuQgawXSXDehn_pwvADJ_S_z6rCiJnyfMIcHBFjeHMiMPgLgNI9vkEikkYxo0QIbRxkfJ4ESWPLyFxCTIL7a5FtrdkMEYHL4/s1600/lafaroprint.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 283px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlWTl7XIirZLtL3yUC8wO_PEMFoBfnTxZc55iMWY6h4AB4MuQgawXSXDehn_pwvADJ_S_z6rCiJnyfMIcHBFjeHMiMPgLgNI9vkEikkYxo0QIbRxkfJ4ESWPLyFxCTIL7a5FtrdkMEYHL4/s400/lafaroprint.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5582038922070398482" /></a>ThomasSTAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12457391907868404860noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2327412961663731858.post-60538740786010438972011-03-07T15:53:00.003+00:002011-03-07T15:58:14.483+00:00LaFaro on LimeblogWith SXSW just around the corner, Lafaro are today's featured artist on Limeblog.
