• First off - read our Our Values - @Klaus and I wrote them for a reason…it’s an insight into how we operate and we think Filmhub should be built.
• I like to challenge thinking. When I present a contrary opinion, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it's the rule or what I believe; it means I’m challenging the idea/concept and want to push us further.
• I want you to be better than me. I love learning and getting pushed. Take the lead, learn, show me how to do something better.
• I’m getting better at actively engaging in conflict and providing feedback. I would love your feedback. Feel free to request feedback from me anytime if you feel you are not getting enough. Read Connect to understand how I approach conflict/feedback more.
• I think out loud a lot, which sometimes confuses people. If you need clarification or are unsure exactly what I mean or want, just ask.
• Go slow to go fast. You’ll hear me say this frequently. I used to be a horribly impatient person (I now maraud as a patient person…occasionally). When I say this, it’s important to learn/evaluate and think before pushing forward. You’ll move much faster later in these instances.
• I love it when people take ownership and just get something done.
• I believe in doing things well and thoroughly, but that doesn’t necessarily mean super deep work, that can happen over time. Keep it simple, stupid at first.
• The best systems and processes could be handed off to a robot, and they would understand what to do.
• You may need to manage up. Given the complexity of this business, I get pulled in 1000 ways to help, and I might miss what you need. I try to keep a sound tracking system of what’s needed, but it fails.
• I live by the saying that any company should be ready to be bought and sold at any given time. This means all company documents, processes, etc., need to be in order.
