What do Charlie Brown, penguins, and Superman have in common?
This question was posed to us last week by Markus Weise, the coach of the German hockey team, in our series of motivational speeches for managers. In his brief yet informative talk, Markus explained to us what tactics or maneuvers are necessary to winning a match, and how this relates to leading a successful company. More important than keeping your sights set on the results – “We want to win gold!” – is focusing on your actions – “We have to make this goal!”. In order to achieve our goals at Goodgame Studios, we have seven separate teams assigned to the different game genres we are developing. Each of these teams has fixed objectives to achieve within their field of responsibility, and those are what they focus on.
