Episode 25 Easee Podcast #18 – Interview with Effie Vraka – How to make performance your new comfort zone


11.07.2022

“It’s okay to fail. If you try crazy ideas, some of them will fail. It’s inevitable. But some of them are gonna create these innovative solutions that are going to change the world”

 

Welcome to the newest episode of the Easee Podcast, featuring our Commercial Excellence Group leader, Effie Vraka, based in the UK.

 

Would you like to hear more about how to push (inspire) the people you care about – at work, and your own children too – just the right amount to help increase their courage, empowerment and robustness? 

Have you ever found it uncomfortable to give feedback and are wondering how you can up your courage?

Are you curious to understand how the “comfort zone” isn’t always comfortable?

 

And are you new to Easee, are you onboarding new Easeetonians or getting new Easeetonians into your team on a regular basis (perhaps that’s all of us) in that case – according to the interviewer – this episode is a need-to-hear for you.

 

“If something hasn’t happened yet, it’s probably because it’s not an easy problem to solve. We are here to solve the difficult problems. So we need the risk takers.”

Are you keen to soak up the wisdom of a real risk taker and learn how to become one yourself?

Episode 23 Easee Podcast #16 – Self-organizing teams with Marcel Jeron


25.03.2022

In this podcast we interview Marcel Jeron, the MD in Easee Germany.

We touch shortly upon his journey and experiences and we talk about a topic that he is really passionate about. Self-organizing teams and organisations.


Marcel strongly believes that we should allow people to figure things out for themselves.

As long as we give people a vision (direction), a mission and a why. People and teams can figure out how to get there.


This is what Easee is all about. We want to power people’s freedom and we want to empower people.

But this is not straight forward, so we dig a little bit deeper into the subject to learn more.

A great interview, with many interesting topics.

Enjoy!

Episode 21 Chief Caretaker Summary – People first, money follows


31.12.2021

People first, money follows.

Since we didn’t make time to make a new year’s speech this year, we decided to post our internal caretaker summary instead.

It explains our culture law #1, people first and the main reason why Easee managed to create amazing results in 2021 (1,4BNOK in turnover and 500MNOK in profit, before tax).

Despite entering the year suffering from cloudgate, a huge backlog in production and a component marked crisis like no one has ever seen or experienced before.

It also covers some very important points and reflections that we all can bring with us into the year of 2022.


We wish you all a happy new year!

09.10.2020

Podcast #5 tar for seg easee sine culture laws og hva som ligger bak disse. Disse er skrevet for å konkretisere hva som er viktig for easee og kulturen vi skal bygge.


  1. People comes first, money follows.  
  2. There is no f*cking hierarchy in Easee. Everything is role-based and everyone is the CEO of their own field. 
  3. We always strive to become the best version of ourselves, and the version of ourselves that we want to be. Not the version that everyone else wants us to be.
  4. Time is the most valuable resource, use it wisely. Sometimes you should say no, even if you really want to say yes. 
  5. Everyone in easee has the right to be seen and heard, and we love to share our success with others.
  6. We are an enabler and we always look for the win-win-win. «Greed is old school, sharing and caring is the new success formula»
  7. We give people infinite chances, as long as they take extreme ownership, learn and improve from f*ck ups. 
  8. We use our intuition and we are allowed to trust our gut when we make decisions. 
  9. Easee has no price. We know our value and we can’t be bought.
  10. We see and hire people for who they are and what they can become. Not for who they have been.
  11. In Easee, we always offer a solution to a «problem». 
  12. Easee is defining the new standard by challenging status quo, and we inspire everyone else to follow. “Dare to be crazy!» 
  13. We have an infinite mindset. It is all about the journey, not the destination.
  14. Everyone in easee is irreplaceable.

Episode 4 Easee Podcast #4 – Outside of the comfort zone


04.09.2020

Topics:


Setting the new standard (PC vs Apple and Tesla vs everyone else)

How do we think around innovation and doing something new?

Most people just do what others do. New ideas are scary, because they can fail. 

When you are doing something new, you need to clearly know the rules and regulations and how you can avoid them. 

You need to find the best suppliers and suppliers that actually can do what you want them to do. 

You need to have a team that are willing to challenge the status quo and that are willing to do whatever it takes to win. 

You need to focus on the optimal customer experience, not the money. 

You need to make a product as simple as possible, not too advanced. 

Does it scale? 

You need to increase the size of your box and to think outside the box. This requires courage and discipline. 

Planning and thinking about things should be considered as necessary, not just the «doing» part. 

We need to focus on adding value. Not just doing something.

Our schooling system focus on memorizing things, not creating. This needs to change.

You can’t google «how to make the best EV charger»

People want to play it safe. We need to force our mind/brain to go outside the comfort zone. You need to move. 

When do you train your kids to make their own decisions? 

If someone is good in math, it doesn’t mean that they are a good person. They should also rate love and vulnerability.

The schooling system should focus on seeing people and on people’s strengths. 

Being good at sports or having a lot of money automatically gives the people the right to be assholes. 

You need to find your inner strength. 

The Easee way is fucking hard

Episode 3 Podcast #3 – En død sau, å kjøre fort, skolesystemet og inspirasjonsbasert vs fryktbasert ledelse


24.08.2020

Teamer: 

-En død sau

-Status så langt og målene for i år (150 tonn med laderoboter). Vi nærmer oss 40 ansatte (50 totalt) og vi sysselsetter over 1000stk totalt sett. 

-Scale or die trying – Vi er villige til å dø for saken. 

-Det er skummelt å kjøre fort -Vi må jobbe med oss selv for å håndtere frykten. Noen ganger er veien jævlig smal og fokus og tillit er helt essensielt for å få det til. 

-Det er et evighetsspill og reglene for det vi holder på med eksisterer ikke, de må lages underveis. 

-Sett folkene først, så kommer pengene og resultatene. 

-Viktigheten av å ta langsiktige valg og å ha de riktige menneskene rundt deg.

-Ansettelse av de rette menneskene.

-Hvem har makten? Vi blir lært opp til å tåle narsissister, helt fra oppveksten vår. Viktigheten av å snu om på dette og praktisere tillit. 

-Vi må endre skolesystemet vårt. Fravær må være tillitsbasert. Vi må akseptere psykisk sykdom på lik linje med fysisk sykdom. Følelser er OK og vi må respektere ungene våre og lytte til hva de egentlig sier. 

-Alder er et tall. Vi må også måle verdier som kjærlighet, sårbarhet og empati, ikke bare se på hvor gode karakterer folk har i matte. Å være god i matte gjør deg ikke til en god person.

-Inspirasjonsbasert ledelse vs tradisjonell ledelse. Sjefer og folk som elsker makt flyter til toppen. En rollebasert organisasjon. Argumenter trumfer. De beste folkene og teamene elsker å komme frem til den beste løsningen. Faren med å kun lytte til de skråsikre og de med den høyeste stemmen. 

-Å fokusere på mindset og verdier kontra utdannelse

-Viktigheten av en god og tydelig rollebeskrivelse. Forvetningsavklaring. Hvem skal ta eierskap til hva? En god rollebeskrivelse kan være avgjørende for å få med seg de beste. 

-Penger gjør deg ikke til et bedre menneske og du tar ikke automatisk bedre avgjørelser bare fordi du har penger på konto.
