People · StandardsIn the last month, I told someone plainly that their work wasn't good enough yet, and helped them fix it.
People · CareRight now, I could name what's weighing on each person in my team, because they told me, not because I guessed.
Process · StandardsEveryone in my team could tell you our top three priorities, and what we've agreed not to do.
Process · CareOur meetings and processes give people time back. Nobody in my team regularly works evenings just to keep up.
Product and Operations · StandardsWe deliver what we commit to, or I raise it early, before anyone has to ask.
Product and Operations · CareWhen something breaks, we fix the system, not the person, and nobody gets blamed in public.
