ConcRE_t coffee with Lucyna Michniewicz-Slaska
Sylwia Hull-Wosiek
Like coffee with Concordia it's mostly about specific topics! This time Sylwia Hull-Wosiek's guest was Lucyna Michniewicz-Slaska - Chief Information Officer at VOX CAPITAL GROUP. And what did they talk about? See for yourself_a!
Many a legend and myth has been created about the IT world. During the talk, Lucyna debunked them, saying that IT teams are first and foremost teams, which are, after all, made up of people. Teams should be looked at as a team. One that is built in the spirit of interdisciplinarity and diversity. What really matters, he says, is what kind of person you are, what talents you have, what values you follow in life. And skills can be acquired, they can be learned.
Our guest speaker also spoke about the power of relationships in management. About giving employees time and presence. In her own words: "there is no me without you and there is no you without me" and "relationships are the energy we put into interaction". Thus, Lucyna emphasizes how important relationships, shared values, team contract, authenticity or empathy are in business.
What are Lucyna's three tips for creating and maintaining a good team?
- interdependent goal, which is best worked out by team members and members,
- trust, building and maintaining psychological safety, and
- shared values.
Thank you Lucyna for the inspiring talk and welcome to the next ConcRE_t coffee!
