Trust your instincts

Openness to collaborate

* Build and maintain a strong network * Don't let perfect be the enemy of good * Clear is kind (thank you Brene Brown)

One thing I find myself saying over and over again in this role, this isn't about me (or you), it's about our organization and our employees as a whole.

Have the confidence to handle ambiguity.

Cultivating relationships across the company with key leaders you can rely on for mentorship, feedback, and insight is key in this role.

Don't fall prey to the "influence without authority" mentality!

Build relationships and trust with team members within your Principal's sphere of influence

Be resourceful and adaptable.

Connect with all levels of leadership through the organization on a constant basis

Take time to get the know the people in the organization who are the business decision makers.

Be the most nimble, flexible and open to change leader in the room.

I keep everything organized in Asana.

Occasionally the best approach is WIWA. (Wing It With Authority)

What I live by: When decisions are reversible, act quickly. When decisions are irreversible, act deliberately.

Be Inquisitive

Prioritize, prioritize, prioritize.

Open to coffee chat, preferred on the weekend or out of working hours

Never assume you understand - repeat requests and verify.

The currency of encouragement spends far longer than the cash.

Collaboration and communication is key to everything

Relationships are everything

Small, early wins build trust

Be a good listener to everyone in the team.

Know your executive! Stay above the fray, don't gossip!

Block off focus time on your calendar.
