Post: The Duties of a CEO or Business Owner

"A CEO is in charge of setting a vision for the business, as a person who is starting a business, there must be a clear vision about what the business is going to be about and the CEO must also learn how to share that vision with the team in a way that the team will understand. The vision of the business needs to be executed and a good team is required to make that happen, so sharing the vision of the business with the team will ensure the growth of the business with an adequate co-operation of the team. Asides from the team, investors and shareholders also have to understand the vision of the business, once the vision of the business is understood by the shareholders it will become easy to execute faster.

Understanding who to bring on board to a business is going to determine the success of the business. As a CEO you want to employ people who will be willing to wake up every morning and deliver the best of their service to the growth of your business for as long as they are around, it is those employees that keep customers glued to your business for a long time so as a CEO, looking for the best set of people to work with you is not an option."

Post: How to Win Friends and Influence People - So many lessons learned!

"It isn't always about being the best... There are many highlights in the book, but I really like the message from the book about not necessarily having to be the best. If you can still manage to live, to inspire, and to encourage those around you, that might be exactly what is needed for you to be at the right place.

I have heard many people say that in order to sell a product, you need to find a common ground with the buyer. And yes, instead of arguing when the buyer criticizes a product of yours, rather find the common ground, encourage and help the person, and he is much more likely to buy what you are selling.

It really is about being a person people like to be around! All in all, this is a book about being a likable person. It isn't for business people only, it is a book for everyone who wants to be a good person and who wants to be liked by their surroundings. It is ideal for moms, dads, teenagers, employees, leaders, yes... for everyone."

Post: Microsoft conveniently extends support for yet another Windows 10 version

"It is worth noting this is only valid for business and education-oriented SKUs of Windows 10 version 1803, while Home and Pro edition are notably absent.

Even more interesting, this week's extension is the third granted by the Redmond company in the last five months. First, on March 19 Microsoft added six months to Windows 10 Enterprise 1709 and Windows 10 Education 1709, moving the end of support from April 14 to October 13; then, on April 14 Microsoft graced Windows 10 Home 1809 and Windows 10 Pro 1809 as well with six additional months of support, moving their end-of-support date from May 12 to November 10.

In the words of Microsoft, these extensions are meant to help overcome the additional burden caused by the Covid-19 pandemic which, among all things, has also put a lot of stress on IT infrastructures as the prevalence of home working and telecommuting has skyrocketed. In such difficult times, the rationale is that stability is paramount, while system administrators, as well as home users, have an all-time high need for reliability, and personal computing has become a key requirement for many activities during the lockdown and its aftermath.

And yet, while the declared intent is noble, it's difficult to brush off the perception that Microsoft is conveniently using the pandemic as an excuse to quietly change their products' lifecycle policies. It is not a secret that businesses are upset by the continuous delivery model introduced by Windows 10 in 2015, especially with regards to the forced mandatory updates and rapid release cycle, that is shoving what is basically a new version of the operating system - with new bugs and potential issues - down the users' throat every six months. Despite all PR efforts, the business world has never really accepted the move from the legacy development model that would release a new version of Windows every three years or so, providing plenty of time for IT departments to assess the changes and handle the update from previous versions."
