At every meeting, I mention that if I am doing something personally that gets in the way of progress for the company - or something needs to change - please come and tell me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've always strived to keep mixing it up, keep doing different things, and work in all different parts of our business.
If it's one thing we do really well as a company, it's that we take big change slowly and deliberately and bring the community along with us.
I don't like to spend time in endless meetings talking about stuff that isn't going to get anything done. I have meetings, but they're short, prompt and to the point.
It's important that I make a difference in some way. It's not necessarily how I make a difference, but I want to make sure that I do.
I think that for people who are trying to make a difference, you have to start the company being naive. You wouldn't do it if you understood all the work. I work a lot. I wish it was easier.
When we talk about change, we, the business leaders, have to implement it. We have to look at what we're not doing and what we should be doing.
Early in my career, I sometimes found it difficult to make the tough people decisions - I had to learn that. In business, you want to listen. You want to learn. You want to make sure you're not proceeding without information. But if you wait too long, you can actually hurt an organization even more.
I come to work, and I have a good time. I have no reason to change anything that I do.
The best way to make change is to know how something works. If you're going to go build something or change whatever it is, if you don't know how it works and you're trying to go make a change in it, the first thing you're doing is you're spending time figuring out how it works. The same thing happens in organizations.
When leaders know how to lead great meetings, there's less time wasted and less frustration. We have more energy to do the work that matters, realize our full potential, and do great things.
