Here is the presentation I’ve used in my lighting talk at the Java Posse roundup 2010

There are just few ‘lessons’ here. IMHO, the important ones.
Over the past 15 years, I’ve been in start ups and swat teams in side big companies. There are lots of good things that I’ve learn, but also, lots of bold examples to how not to run things. In the end of the day, it’s all about peopleware and open commutation. But like any other aspect in life, lots of other methods you can use in order to be better and excel.

Disclaimer: In some of the slides I took some ideas from Rework book.
