I personally would love to see him make better use of the community. Ask us for more input. Ask us if he can borrow our skills, or if we are willing to use our network to achieve a certain goal. Give us some numbers to play with, like the man hours he needs to launch SMT's. Give us a list of tasks that we can do without having to know all the ins and outs of the development process per se.
This is the important part of your post for me. I have a managers position so I have spent years leading teams and trying to grow and teach my staff. It takes time and patience but if you treat people fairly and work with them you can get the best out of most people. Ned has had to let go of staff, fair enough. We don't know but it could be 10-20 people.
What he needs to realise and we have seen it all over the place in the past day is that he has a community of thousands of smart, driven and willing people to help with the project. All he needs to do is ask and they will be there. If he layed out what needs to be done over the next 6 months and what he needs help with I guarantee the people would respond and divide up the work. I have no technical skill but I do know business, marketing and management. We do however have plenty on here with the developing skills to cover the work and who have volunteered to jump in. I just hope he can see that.

more out of the same people. The best thing is to ask them what they want to do and where they themselves think they should spend their time on. I honestly believe if Steemit Inc was willing to share the things that needed to be done and who was willing to pick up a few tasks we would make a huge jump forward in a short time. People love doing what they're good at.That's it @niallon11 - I've never been a 'manager' but I have had a few team leader roles, and I've always been interested in seeing how I could get
I think we're pretty much in agreement on this point. Thanks for commenting :-)
I think we pretty much are on the same page for this one. If you motivate people to love what they do and let them enjoy it then they will throw themselves into the work. There are plenty of way to reward people without it being financial.
