New EM and just learned a great lesson about how even if my team’s and my work is 100% right, but leadership doesn’t feel in touch with it or clued in on development, it won’t get too far.

AKA stakeholder management. Sorry about the learning lesson.

By the way, nothing bad happened. Learned this by running an experiment where I let a less important deliverable run on its own and then presented a final product and a more important deliverable where leaders involved step by step. World of a difference

That’s a good lesson. People like stuff they’re familiar with (on many levels). A familiar deliverable will always be better received than an unfamiliar one, even if the unfamiliar one is of better quality.

Honestly, to an extent I treat my leadership similar to how I treat my clients. I see them as ‘client 0.1’. And huge part of that is taking them for the ride. Kudos to you for running a controlled experiment and proving it empirically 😂

This is on point. I agree

Client leadership?

That sucks and is a hard lesson

After 18 years, I lost my art room to a classroom this year in order to spread out kids due to Covit19. They said we can’t hand out papers.. kinda thinking art is remote for all. I will do lessons on google classroom with live lesson to classrooms and home. I was told special area teachers may be “repurposed”. We will be used like a TA. One class will be spread out two rooms.Aday teacher in one room, I help in other room. B day teachers switch 😳😷☹️.. I know I’m lucky to have a job but.

How do i get my students to engage more in live online lessons? Obviously, I can grade them on participation, but are there any other creative ideas to actually get them to WANT to participate?

How do you best support your students who do not speak English? I have four ELL’s in my 6th grade ELA class and they don’t receive push-in or pull-out Bilingual support during my class. Do you pull them for small group to provide instruction separately or do you just try to use google translate to translate your lessons and the work? Any best practices? I’d love some help.

Currently making ~$300K TC in a strategy role. Was just offered a different role (account manager) in the same company with a slight increase in base salary and a 50% TC increase if I hit sales target (even base case would be ~30% increase in TC).

Have never really considered account management / anything with a sales target, but I like money.

Thoughts? Things I should consider?

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?
