If your career is young you should be looking for good examples of leadership.
@UXtina #leadingUX
Aspiring managers should start developing philosophies and practices that represent good leadership.
@UXtina #leadingUX
Managing yourself is never as easy as you imagine.
@UXtina #leadingUX
If you’ve been around a while, reflect on your own leadership practices.
@UXtina #leadingUX
I fight as if I am right, and listen as if I am wrong – and I teach the team to
do the same.
@UXtina #leadingUX
I foster a culture that embraces the fuck up.
@UXtina #leadingUX
My success – and that of the team– depends largely on being the master of obvious and mundane things, not on magical, obscure, or breakthrough ideas or methods.
@UXtina #leadingUX
My job is to serve as a human shield, to protect the team from external
intrusions, distractions, and idiocy of every stripe – and to avoid imposing
my own idiocy on them as well.
@UXtina #leadingUX
I have a flawed and incomplete
understanding of what it feels like to work for me.
@UXtina #leadingUX
Innovation is crucial to every team and organization. So my job is to encourage the team
to generate and test all kinds of new ideas. But it is also my job to help them kill off all the bad ideas
we generate and most of the good ideas, too.
@UXtina #leadingUX
I am not the spokes- model of the team.
@UXtina #leadingUX
My job is to nurture careers and the type of
professional behaviour that will impress business and technology people alike.
@UXtina #leadingUX
Because I wield power over others, I am at great
risk of acting like an insensitive jerk — and
not realizing it.
@UXtina #leadingUX
It’s not about being right,it’s about understanding.
@UXtina #leadingUX
Bad is stronger than good. It is more
important to eliminate the bad than to
accentuate the good.
@UXtina #leadingUX
Aim for excellence in our work, not success. This is the best way to educate about the value of our
profession.
