- Next: Two presentations worth knowing about
- Do not expect to know everything – the web moves too fast.
- Give your team time to keep up with how fast the web moves.
- Provide the emotional space for your web team to produce fantastic work.
- Encourage constructive peer review and collaboration from all members of the web team (and your organisation in general).
- Respect failures and mistakes but make sure the whole web team learns why things didn’t work.
- Broaden the horizon of the web team beyond your direct competitors, and your market place – if you do business online, the toughest obstacles and competitors you will face are the ones that haven’t started yet.
- Learn to manage frustration. If you can understand and master it in yourself, you can recognise it in others and begin to help them too.
- The web demands compromises – ensure that individuals do not see these as personal failures.
- Support authentic investigation, genuine curiosity and an eagerness to learn, but also be able to focus and channel efforts into something tangible.
- Always ask what can you learn from the things you do. Then ask how you can apply what you’ve learnt.
