build-and-tag-action's Introduction
Nice to meet you! π
About me π§βπ»
What are some honest, unfiltered things about you?
I have worked across many industries (higher education, marketing, security, telecom) in various stages of growth as software developer, site reliability engineer, platform engineer, and even a LAN administrator.
I absolutely π» cats and have a probably embarrasing number of cat t-shirts!
I π§βπ³ a lot in a wide variety of styles, however π on π π¦ π¦ π¦ π¦ π¦ͺ and most π§ (mild white cheeses π)
Coordination and communication without visuals, documentation, roadmaps, agendas, and/or setting expectations
Inconsistency without exception and reasoning
What are your quirks?
I tend to step in and potentially overstep when I perceive disorder, conflict, confusion, or ambiguity; please believe this comes from a good place.
I am a very visual person πΌοΈ and might need to sketch or diagram problems to understand them better.
I might jokingly π say I hate all programming languages or tools as a way of staying detached; they all have strengths, weaknesses, and idiosyncrasies.
I believe writing documentation or communications takes as much thought and effort as writing code; sometimes it takes time
What are some things that people might misunderstand about you that you should clarify?
Sometimes my π€ face gets confused with my π or π‘ face; being a π¨β𦲠makes facial features more distinct but π for patience
What qualities do you particularly value in your colleagues?
Proactive in communication and taking action
Prepared for events and discussions
Celebrate successes, achievements, and good fortunes of others
Genuine and introspective about who they are, where they come from, and what truly matters most to them
What do you wish colleagues didnβt do?
High-level planning and coordination efforts without data and/or roadmaps
Asking for help without relevant information provided upfront
How can people earn an extra gold star with you?
Be genuine celebrating others!
Be persistent in seeing a question answered or a problem solved!
Present short and long term solutions upfront; a majority of hard problems need both and this is often a cause of talking past one another!
Take and own responsibility actively!
About my interactions π€
How do you coach people to do their best work and develop their talents?
Celebrate others' efforts in channels / venues where their leaders can see and recognize it (Slack, formal accolade processes, etc)
Get to know colleagues (backgrounds, experiences, values, and aspirations) and include them in discussions and activities around them
Partner together on activities, training one another up in a safe space
Spend 1:1 time asking for feedback
Whatβs the best way to communicate with you?
Visuals are better than documentation, both are better than verbal knowledge sharing
Provide context, agendas, and any expectations prior to meetings so I can actively participate
Tell me how much time you need, so I can block that off for you especially; I prefer to be present for discussions as a courtesy for you
Whatβs the best way to convince you to do something?
Actively ask and engage me, give me space to ask questions
Demonstrate it is something everyone on the team and/or organization is doing
Affirm this is what will make me successful and celebrated
If there isn't data for this, then explicitly ask me for trust; this works especially when reciprocated if I need to ask for trust, too
How do you like to give feedback?
For feedback that might be potentially sensitive; personal; or emotional, I will ask for 1:1 time on video and might follow up with additional context after the conversation
I prefer giving feedback around the results of work and other external things as I try to disassociate people from the work done
I try to ask lots of questions because I really do want to understand; sometimes itβs a lot because situations are complex
How do you like to get feedback?
Help me feel like we collectively have something to improve and that we are in it together
Help me feel heard and understood even if you can't sympathize or empathize
Please reinforce the good things as much as improving others
