Self-Growing Culture and High-Performing Teams - Questers
QUESTERS & NEWS UK PRESENT:
Self-Growing Culture and High-Performing Teams
26 FEBRUARY (WEDNESDAY) | 18:30 – 21:30 BG TIME
QCLUB/QBALKON (17 HENRIK IBSEN STR., 5TH FLOOR)

Culture isn’t something you grow in a test tube and release through the air conditioning ducts like an infectious virus; “Here, have some culture.” It isn’t the result of a board-level decision. And neither is it the result of a seven-hour team-building exercise.

No. Culture lives inside your people, and it seeps out of their pores every day like pheromones that affect the behaviour of everyone around them. All of those micro-interactions, those tiny bits of passion and the accumulation of people who actually care; that’s where culture lives.

Join our insightful talk to learn more about how to hire amazing people, get the best out of them and build a fantastic culture. During the talk Jeremy Burns, Head of Engineering at News UK, will share how he successfully has laid the grounds of an amazing team in Sofia, and our colleague Svetlin Staev, Team Lead at the News UK team at Questers, will share his first-sight experience of joining such a team.

18:30–19:00 RECEPTION
19:00–21:00 PRESENTATIONS
21:00–21:30 TALKS & DRINKS
