You share credit, take blame. You like being wrong because it means someone else had an even better idea. One team mentality. You break silos across teams. You put the company and mission first above your team alone. Great listener, hungry for feedback. You’re always seeking to improve – our product, our business, yourself. You solicit diverse opinions and deeply listen. Owner, not renter. You see a problem, you fix it or find someone who will. The buck stops with you. Player-coach.
