Working with Me: What to Expect

Hi Team,

As we continue working together, I want to share some insights into my approach and the values I believe are key to our success. I'm here to support your growth, encourage innovation, and ensure we're delivering our best work together.

My Core Values

1. Teamwork and Knowledge Sharing

• I see our team as a unified whole where we support and learn from each other. I encourage open discussions, and I want you to feel comfortable asking for help, sharing insights, and contributing to everyone's success. We all bring unique strengths to the table, and by collaborating, we amplify our impact.

2. Supportive Environment

• My aim is to create a space where everyone feels valued and empowered. I'll work to remove obstacles and provide guidance when you need it. I welcome feedback -- whether it's about our work, processes, or how I can support you better. Together, we can continually improve.

3. Continuous Learning and Growth

• Technology evolves fast, and I believe in the importance of learning at every stage of our careers. I encourage you to pursue new skills, experiment with new ideas, and take on challenges that stretch your abilities. Let's celebrate each other's learning, from small wins to big milestones.

4. Taking Calculated, Informed Risks and Failing Fast

• Innovation requires courage, and with that comes the potential for failure. I'm here to support calculated, data-driven risks, and I see setbacks as opportunities to learn. Don't be afraid to try something new. If it doesn't work out, we'll reflect, adapt, and move forward stronger than before.

5. Ownership and Accountability

• I believe in taking ownership of our work and seeing projects through. I expect each of us to understand our role, communicate openly about any obstacles, and follow through on our commitments. Ownership is about bring our best efforts and taking pride in the impact we're making as a team.

My Expectation

• Communicate openly with me and with each other. Transparency fosters trust and enables us to address issues before they escalate.
• Take initiative and don't hesitate to ask questions, propose ideas, or seek feedback.
• Prioritize quality and efficiency in our work, without sacrificing one for the other.
• Be open to feedback and willing to adapt. My goal is to provide constructive insights, and I'm always here to listen.

How I'll Support You

I'm here to help clear roadblocks, advocate for resources, and provide mentorship. I'll regularly check in with you to understand how I can best support your career development and goals.

Let's build a positive, productive, and innovative team where we all feel inspired and driven to do our best work.

Thank you for being a part of this journey. I'm excited to see what we'll achieve together.

My Hiring Philosophy

Here are three questions that I always ask a candidate, and believe can help assess a candidate’s achievements, approach to problem-solving, and capacity for self-reflection:

1. What is the accomplishment from your past professional experience that you're most proud of, and why?
2. Can you walk me through the steps you took to achieve that accomplishment?
3. If you had the chance to tackle that accomplishment again, is there anything you would do differently?

I will ask three questions to myself:

1. What will this candidate bring to the team and company's growth in the long run?
2. Will I regret if the candidate is hired by competitors?
