ABOUT YOUR MANAGER
==========
Hi there, random stranger on the internet (who hopefully won’t be a stranger for long). My name’s Ian, and I’m looking forward to working together.
If you’re hired for this position, here are my commitments to you:
? I will always set you up for success to the best of my ability.
? If something doesn’t go according to plan, I’ll always reflect on my contributions to that failure before blaming any team member.
Other things you should know about me and my management style:
? If you have questions or need support, I expect you to reach out so that I can help you.
? I genuinely cherish my relationships with my team members and work hard to retain honest, hardworking people as long as I
possibly can (typically at least 2-3 years for rockstars).
? The only thing that I feel is insurmountable in a work environment is dishonesty. Anything else can be learned with the right
team member.
? I have high standards, but I will always communicate them to you clearly and do everything I can to set you up for success.
? I genuinely do everything I can to be the boss/manager I never had. You’re a human with a life and loved ones, not a robot.
Managers should always keep that top of mind.
? I’m always here for you when you need me!
