STORY: Are You Sharing a Staffer With Another Boss? If So,
You're Not Alone
Companies are increasingly asking employees to play duel roles
and work for multiple bosses - 44% of U.S. employees do so,
according to Gallup. What does working for multiple bosses mean
for employers and for employee-sharing or team-sharing managers?
We're exploring the growing trend of employees answering to
multiple bosses on a regular basis. This is happening more and
more as COVID-related layoffs thin out the ranks and have a
single employee answering to two (usually) bosses.
We'd like to answer these queries:
1. As a manager or staffer, have you experienced a worker
answering to two or more bosses? If so, what was it like?
2. Why are employees or teams likely to work for two bosses? In
what workplace environment does this make sense?
3. What management strategies should be deployed when having two
bosses share an employee? Are there turf issues or calendar
requirements to work out?
4. How do managers handle communications - with each other and
with the employee they're managing? Any specifics?
5. How do managers handle time and scheduling - with each other
and with the team or employee they're sharing?
6. What are the biggest mistakes than managers make when two or
more more are sharing a team or employee?
All comments welcome. Thank you.
Requirements:
Management specialists, business experts, manager who have
shared a team or employee with another manager, company owners,
staffers who have worked for multiple bosses

management right in a remote workplace? Here's a five-point
checklist.

workplace knowledge (aka "knowledge management") in an era of
remote work. We'd like to answer the following questions:
1. How do you define knowledge management?
2. What are the key challenges in creating a good workplace
knowledge management system?
3. What are the key steps in creating and managing a knowledge
management system - especially on in a remote work environment?
4. What are the biggest mistakes managers make when trying to
organize, classify, manage and share data in a remote working
environment?
5. Can you recommend any good KM tech tools and systems? What do
they bring to the table?
Thanks in advance!

We've all probably taken a personality assessment at one point,

thinking people in one organization can actually limit forward

different backgrounds and with different perspectives.
How have you ensured that your team has a variety of personality
types and ones that all get along? How do these different
personality types affect your team dynamics? How is performance
impacted negatively or positively because of these dynamics?
What tools or resources have you used to learn more about your
team members?
Please include tools, resources, strategies, conversation
starters, or anything else we may not have thought of.
We are looking for "Out of the Box" ideas that have a meaningful
impact on employees/companies.

great products, or executives at large companies with unique
perspectives on how the financial technology is evolving. We
discuss trends, disruptions, entrepreneurial opportunities,

more in a seven-part series. We also try to highlight for our
audience gaps in the current value chain where they may start a
venture, from the unique vantage point that CIOs and CTOs have.
This is a wonderful opportunity to add value to the
entrepreneurial ecosystem of the world. This blog is part of the
One Million by One Million global initiative, whose aim is to

For my Entrepreneur Journeys series, I'm looking for interesting
virtual companies in technology and technology-enabled services,
companies with at least $5 million in annual revenue. I'm
interested in interviewing the entrepreneur behind the company
who is willing to discuss the nuances of the strategy and
process of company building, spanning topics such as
bootstrapping, financing, positioning, customer acquisition,
channels, team building, etc. To pitch, provide revenue level,
industry and focus of the story angle in terms of
company-building experience. We use the revenue level as a
qualification criterion for selecting entrepreneurs to profile;
we don't necessarily have to publish this number in the actual
story. The Entrepreneur Journeys series has already produced 12
books (http://tinyurl.com/4p4phwy). See examples of the series
on my blog (http://tinyurl.com/d8m9mt). This blog is part of the
One Million by One Million global initiative, whose aim is to
help a million entrepreneurs reach $1 million in annual revenue.
We use the EJ interviews as case studies to teach other
entrepreneurs how to navigate the entrepreneurial waters. You
get publicity, as well as a platform to share your lessons from
the trenches with a large number of aspiring and practicing
entrepreneurs. 1M/1M has syndication relationships with many

10 LinkedIn influencers of 2015 (https://goo.gl/AN9TjS). The
procedure is to have a one-hour interview by phone or in-person
in my Menlo Park office. We publish a very long, detailed 5- to
10-part interview, so the discussion needs to be in-depth.
