Leadership

Building and leading creative teams since 2008

I was lucky enough to become a manager fairly early in my career, which means I had a lot of time to make mistakes, learn from them, and get better at managing. I’m known for building the kind of teams people don’t want to leave. I have been called “the Ted Lasso of our company,” “the fun one,” and “better than the last guy.” Ringing endorsements!

I believe organizational health is business health. A team that likes working together, feels empowered, supported, and challenged, makes better, more effective products—whatever those products might be!

Below you’ll find a presentation I made to help train managers. I think it both sums up my management philosophy and style, and also provides some helpful tips to new managers. Feel free to use bits from it (or the whole thing) if you find it useful!
