Management & Leadership

My management style is team-focused coaching and servant-based leadership. Here are examples of how I handle different management and leadership issues and some common management scenarios.
Management Philosophy
My personal management philosophy guides me in all my management decisions. I strive to remove roadblocks for my teams, allowing them to do what they do best. My philosophy is called SCORE and it focuses on the following 5 key areas.
I adopt a strategic mindset to set clear goals, develop actionable plans, and align resources to achieve objectives. I then provide the team with a strategic roadmap for decision-making and prioritization.
I foster a culture that promotes transparent communication and timely constructive feedback. I build trust through active listening and constructive conflict resolution.
I cultivate a sense of ownership in my team by empowering employees to take responsibility for their work and outcomes. I encourage employees to own the product by delegating authority and promoting accountability.
I prioritize building positive and meaningful relationships with team members, stakeholders, and peers. I promote a collaborative workplace by engaging with team members and encouraging constructive conflict resolution.
I create a well-balanced environment for individual and team growth, recognition, and well-being. I commit to growing team members' skills and recognizing the contributions of every team member.
