Golden Hippo Employee Perspectives
On his approach to managing and coaching his team:
"My role as a manager is to remove obstacles, not create them, whether that’s unclear direction, unnecessary pressure or friction in the process that gets in the way of great work. I focus on giving the team trust and room to think. I believe a happy, supported and relaxed creative team consistently produces better ideas and better results. When people feel confident and protected, they take smarter risks and that’s where the best creativity comes from."
