“Face the Sunshine.”
This manual is designed to reduce communication friction and help us collaborate effectively. It is a living document based on my 20+ years of R&D leadership.
🌟 Core Philosophy: Action Speaks
- No Talkers: Actions speak louder than words. I prioritize execution and tangible results over theoretical discussions.
- Fairness Cares: I deeply value fairness. I will intervene if team members are treated unfairly or if actions negatively impact the collective good.
- Empowerment: I love giving teams autonomy. Watching members take ownership and grow is my greatest satisfaction.
💬 Communication & Feedback
- Be Straight: I prefer difficult, honest conversations over unspoken issues. Be direct and authentic.
- Efficiency First: I value logical, accurate interactions. For urgent matters, Face-to-Face or Slack Huddle is preferred over email.
- Open Minded: I see all feedback as a learning opportunity. Please include specific examples and suggestions for improvement.
🛠 Working Preferences
- Quiet Concentration: As an introvert, I work best in quiet environments for complex problem-solving.
- Problem Prevention: I view “problem prevention” as a core responsibility—identifying issues early to avoid downstream crises.
- Open Calendar: My calendar is open. If I’m free, feel free to book time for collaboration.
⚠️ My Struggles
- Introversion: Working “in the open” is something I have to consciously push myself to do.
- Impatience: I may lose patience with illogical or inefficient interactions. If I seem rushed, please bear with me or call it out.
- Poker Face: I may not be very expressive, which can be misread. If I’m unhappy, I will say so; otherwise, assume all is well!
