Weblinx Employee Reviews for Director of Marketing

What do you like about working at Weblinx?

"One thing I liked about my last job at Weblinx was that it allowed me to develop my project management skills ... FOR EXAMPLE, I was put in charge of a web design project where I had to earn the buy-in of people from multiple different departments and I had all the responsibility for getting this project completed on time, even though I had no real authority over my teammates since they did not report to me. I was successful because I first created a project vision statement that the team agreed on. Then day-to-day I made sure that each team member completed their work on time. I did this in most cases by appealing to my teammates' own self-interests."

What don't you like about working at Weblinx?

"What I liked least about my last job was that the management style was pretty hands off, and this was fine for me because I am self-motivated and work hard to achieve. I had to constructively approach my manager and let her know what was going on WITHOUT creating any friction between me and my co-workers. In the end, it worked out well, because I was pro-active."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I find that it is not effective to use only one type of management style, I have to adapt according to the individual I am dealing with and the situation. For example with inexperienced employees I use a management style that involves a high level of task instruction and close supervision. I find this effective because the employee needs to be secure that they know exactly what to do and how to do it. They also require constant support to build their confidence. For a more experienced employee who is comfortable with the work, I delegate the task and expect them to come to me for help if they need it. This demonstrates my trust in their ability to do the job on their own."
