The 5-Minute Startup CTO #14

Meeting schedule, Leadership mistakes, TabNine

Here are your picks for this week:

Process makes perfect

A very open post from the team at Skillshare, detailing the whole range of meetings they run throughout their organisation.

While there are no big surprises here, it feels important for any organisation to take this high-level view of all key meetings and to ponder: do we need to adjust some frequencies, some invite lists? Are we missing anything, or can we trim or merge a few meetings? How do they all fit together?

It’s all about people

As a manager, motivating your team(s) should be a priority. A good starting point is to avoid de-motivating them... and HBR has a list of eight common mistakes to watch out for. A good reference point to check yourself against!

Something to try

TabNine is an AI-powered auto-completion tool for coders. Interesting concept, supporting 22 languages, with slightly mixed reviews. Worth looking into and giving it a try.

I hope you enjoyed this. Have a great week!
