Leadership Tenets
The operating principles I use to lead teams, build organizations, and deliver outcomes.
What I optimize for
Culture
Curiosity + accountability elevate teams into great organizations
Scale
Org design that enables quality and consistent execution
Execution
Predictable process creates space for better outcomes
Proximity
Stay close to the work to maintain judgment and direction
Curiosity with Judgment
Ask questions, challenge assumptions, and explore alternatives — but know when to stop exploring and execute.
Organizations Should Enable Great Work
Great work can happen anywhere, but sustainable impact requires org design that supports clarity, scale, and growth.
Clarity Is a Leadership Responsibility
Great leaders communicate clearly across channels, document intent, and make decisions easy to find.
Process Enables Progress
Predictable process creates trust and momentum; bureaucracy is a failure of intent, not a requirement of scale.
Performance Matters
High standards, clear expectations, and fair accountability are essential to doing meaningful work at scale.
