SASS and Christmas Around the Corner

The Scandinavian Affiliate Super Summit conference takes place tomorrow in Stockholm and Cperspective will of course attend. Hopefully we will run into a few of our advertisers and learn some more about our vibrant industry. Hopefully I will be able to attend both days, but we have so much things going on at the office now so I might only attend tomorrows conference. Luckily the conference is just a 10 minute walk away from our office so I can go back and forth a bit if the weather allows me to do so (it’s about -10 degrees in Stockholm at the moment).

Other than that it’s only about 20 days left to work for us at Cperspective, and then it’s Christmas break! I personally love the Christmas holidays, and during the weekend me and my girlfriend decided to give our home a touch of Christmas. Here are some pictures:

Team Spirit and Moral is Contagious

One of the key things in a all companies, and especially a small company is the team spirit. The moral of a team can be decisivie of what the team achieves and what level it can operate on. This is something that I often notice at the office. In some cases for example one of us might be hyped up, and oftentimes this makes the other guys hyped as well. We all start talking and brainstorming about different situations and in the end we’re all working as hard as we can the whole day just because of that little hype session.

But this is an two edged sword because it goes both ways. If one of us is having a bad day this can bad for the whole team because it can easliy bring others down as well.

I think it is important as a leader to be able to build team moral, but it is extremely difficult to do so all the time. One of the most common ways we build up the team spirit at Cperspective is by having discussions about our personal goals and making them the goal of everyone in the team. The idea is that our goal is not reached until each personal goal of all people involved is reached. This way we all know that we’re working for eachother, and by having regular discussions around this we also keep reminding ourselves that we’re a team where everyone’s goals is equally important.

When you have a small team it’s important to keep the mood up. Even if you have a bad day you should leave it at home because when you’re in the office it’s not about YOU, it’s about the TEAM and what’s best for the team. I know this is impossible to do at all times, but it should be the ideal for everyone who want to work on an optimal level at all times.

Dear Blog, Forgive Me!

I am really sorry about my nonexisting blog routine. I know I’ve said this before, but I really would like to get a regular blog posting going here.

So what’s been up lately? Well let me tell you!

I’ve been working harder than ever, and the ever changing Cperspective just keeps… changing! We are always up to something new, whether it’s products, people or projects. And this time we have actually seen some new people enter our cuddly cottage, as well as new products and projects. Within the next two weeks I will be able to give away more information about one project especially.

The focus at the moment for us is to develop our services in display advertising. We are working on some interesting stuff at the moment that hopefully will result in a kick ass product within a few months.

In the next post I’m thinking about starting a new series of posts that deals with how we run our company over here. Some type of “from-being-a-start-up-and-not-knowing-much-to being-where-we-are-today-and-where-we-will-go-from-here” kinda thing.

Let me end this post with a real German accent “I’ll be back!”, not only in honor of Arnie, but also to reassure you my dear readers that I indeed will be back soon!
