Being sincere, stable, helpful and faithful is important to me. I believe in keeping promises, fulfilling commitments. I personally practice pitching in as a team player, helping team members to learn, and understanding their purpose, not just their function. Being a boss is more than just barking out orders. Doing any job should never be beneath anyone in the tech field, “working in the trenches,” as we say, because this is how you learn to manage more efficiently. Listening to constructive criticism from those under you is critical. I pay attention to those who think outside the box, and drill into anything technical to crack a challenging problem, or figure how to make something work or work better. I will always thrive on learning something new.
