Odds of hitting a single: 1 in 6.44
Hitting singles wins MORE games!
Check your attitude and ego at the door. You won’t need them and they won’t be tolerated
Do bring your intellect, curiosity and inquisitive mind
Question everything, but have a good reason for doing so
Agree to disagree but always respect the other person’s point of view and/or ideas
At the end of the day we always do what’s best:
First for our customers
Second for the company
We don’t let work arguments and disagreements get in the way of relationships
We all succeed or we all sink together. No “Titanic” effect
Building a great product is NOT the Product Manager’s responsibility. It’s every one’s
Lead, inspire and mentor those below you. Manage up
Learn quick… move on
It’s ok to be wrong… just own up to it
It’s ok to make mistakes… learn from them
It’s ok not to know something… go learn it
If you are going to criticize, follow it up with a compliment (1:2 minimum ratio please!)
If you have a great idea, present it with passion and be ready to fight for it regardless of
the outcome. If you are not, then don’t present it
Treat people below you better than you treat people above you or be gone!
Working hard is unavoidable… having fun is mandatory!
