Kai, the Silent Listener
Hi, I’m Kai: the silent listener. I like to sneak into Julian’s meetings with the goal of listening for you and sharing the most important insights with you. Whether Julian is talking to the compliance team, the marketing team, the developers, or the lawyers… I always sneak in, especially when there is something to learn.
During days 46 to 60 of the 90-Day Comeback Challenge, I once again sneaked into Julian’s office and picked up the most valuable tips and lessons. Here are my key insights:
- The importance of feedback and self-reflection: Feedback is a powerful tool for development, recognizing both strengths and weaknesses. Regular self-reflection helps in continuous improvement.
- Effective short-term marketing strategies: Referral marketing and performance marketing are two short-term strategies that can quickly attract many customers.
- Time savings through routines and efficient communication: Routines and efficient communication can save up to 40 hours a week. Establishing fixed procedures and delegating tasks are crucial.
- Critical differences between school and professional life: The school system and the professional world sometimes couldn’t be more different – for example, “copying” in school is punished, while in the professional world it is important to analyze your competitors and learn from them.
- The balance between hands-on and hands-off leadership: It is important as a manager to find the right balance between hands-on and hands-off to effectively lead and motivate the team.
Conclusion
The first 60 days of my 90-Day Comeback Challenge have been intense and full of valuable experiences. We have made significant progress in our products and internal processes. Of course, there have been challenges, particularly regarding the current market environment and necessary adjustments.
I look forward to tackling the final 30 days of this challenge with the same energy and commitment. There is still much to do. Thank you to everyone who is accompanying and supporting me on this journey!
