Career Advice…

“No one shows up to work thinking ‘man, I really hope I suck at my job today.’ This advice, while a bit crass, taught me to have patience in teaching and developing team members. Another favorite is ‘leadership is not about you; it’s a resource you provide to help others.’ This piece of advice was a game changer for me. A common misconception is that your team should adapt to your management style. I learned that in order to have my team members reach their full potential and feel supported I needed to adapt my managing style to best fit what each individual needed from me. My goal is always to support my team members and help them achieve their goals.
