Advice to Management

Recognize people's hard and quality work.

Think more about performance than useless features.

Let people leave on good terms.

Don't panic on stupid bugs.

Don't play politics too much.

Efficiency is very important, so don't have too many useless meetings.

Let people present their good ideas, not BS ones.
