My Guiding Product Design Principles.
• Be humble. Suspend judgement and stay curious.
Design is a team sport.
You are not your end-user. Go talk to those who are or will be.
Function over form.
The better the design, the less it is seen and the more it is experienced.
Design’s main goal is to remove ambiguity.
The success of any design is the satisfaction of users.
Good design can be expensive, poor design will cost even more.
How I solve problems large & small.
Leadership Principles.
Serve as a Force Multiplier – Leadership is figuring out how to elevate the abilities of individual experts to produce a collective outcome that goes well beyond what any individual could achieve. A leader does whatever they can to make this magic happen and then gets out of the way.
It’s Not About Having the Answers – There’s nothing to prove as a leader. You are simply dedicated to team objectives and the success of each member. The leader provides the framework, the team creates the success.
Converse Like Socrates – Rely on questions, lots of questions. To surface the essence of any issue, utilize “how” and “what” more than “why”.
Lead with Gratitude – Each team member brings something special to the group. It’s really fun and important to recognize that specialness. Being thankful will nurture those talents.
Emphasize the Fun & Humor of it All – Work - and life for that matter - is often full of absurdity. Getting through it with colleagues can make even the toughest of times be light and playful, as life should be.
