An interview with Bob Dignen conducted by Bartosz Zych about being a great leader in the world of remote working. Remote working has had a huge impact on the way we communicate, manage teams and build relations. Could you tell us what exactly has happened in this field for the last two and a half years? Firstly, let’s consider the idea of a huge impact. I would say yes and no, because for people working, particularly in IT projects over the last 20-25 years, remote and hybrid working have actually been very standard. What we’ve seen, therefore, is the standard for a relatively small number of people as becoming standard for a very large number of people.

Czy to pieniądze kręcą nas najbardziej? Niektórych na pewno, bo – niestety – tak jest skonstruowany świat wokół nas. Ważne jest to, co posiadamy. Patrzymy na ludzi przez pryzmat tego, co mają, oceniamy siebie i innych w tym kontekście. Bardzo ciekawe jest także to, że używamy pieniędzy nie tylko po to, by nimi płacić w sklepie, ale dla wielu innych celów, wcale nie powiązanych bezpośrednio z kupowaniem.

Interview with Andy Kaufman, conducted by Dominika Kantorowicz. Andy, you are strongly recognizable within the project management world. You are an international speaker, author, executive coach. Could you tell us more about your career path? Who were you at the beginning of your journey and what made you in this place? I started my career as a software developer. I like to say that I was promoted into management for all the wrong reasons because it is true! There were some layoffs and the reason I got picked was at least in part because I was a reasonably good software developer. We easily fall into the trap that if someone is good at one thing then, certainly, they must be good at managing those in such a role! That halo effect assumption often leads to much harm.
