On the phone with Calvin. He wanted to call and report on the sales tax project. Here are some small notes from our call: - Huge projects with unclear requirements tend to be a lessor priority and it is hard to be motivated to work on such big huge beasts. It takes time to get in and time to get out of the projects. You lose a lot in the transition between projects. Big lead-ins make it hard to get the dedicated time to get things done. - Calvin was feeling like a partial failure due to the efforts that were being performed. He has worked himself up to be a $150 per hour - top end developer. We are only paying a portion of that and he is feeling like his efforts are even less than what is being paid. Basically, Calvin was being honest and saying that he didn't feel right about the effort and the pay. - That lead into a conversation about accountability and leverage - both of those are very common in an employer/employee relationship. He didn't feel like we had any of that due to the independent nature of how we have things setup. That lead to some talks about how to manage a beast like what we have going and flowing. It gets tough. - We talked about finding the balance and a good match between people and their love for certain projects. If they love it, they will be devoted to that cause. If not, it is like pulling teeth, just for simple stuff. There has to be a balance and each person is different. - We talked a little bit about being devoted to a cause or being willing to put in the extra work because you either like it, you love it, or you know you will make more or get paid later. - Long story made short... it comes down to motivation, compensation, passion, and good hard work. Lots of other fun ideas and such. A great call. |
