My professional mission is: -- To make a complicated world more simple -- To make an uninformed world more empowered -- To make a cynical world more inspired The vehicle for my mission is the discipline of product marketing. Highly successful technology organizations need product marketers to drive business growth. But only agile product marketers effectively balance the 6 forces of product marketing.. The 12 values and principles of management I believe in are: 1) Transformation and change can only be successful in phases 2) Having no conviction is weakness; conviction for your own benefit is selfishness; conviction for the benefit of others is leadership 3) When performance doesn’t meet expectations, the cause may not be a lack of competency; it may be a lack of confidence or development 4) Conflict and passive aggression are most often results of fear, uncertainty, and insecurity 5) If you have the right team, individual reward is maximized by collaboration; if collaboration doesn’t lead to reward, then you have the wrong team 6) Cautious expectation setting and courageous problem escalation are the foundations of trust 7) Those who seek greater understanding earn more confidence than those who follow blind faith 8) Your customer always dictates your value; if you are undervalued, then you have to work harder or find better customers 9) Irrespective of an individual’s performance or character, there is no excuse to denigrate another person’s dignity 10) Seek goodness within everyone and acknowledge that goodness 11) True greed can be conquered by compassion, but true compassion cannot be conquered by anything 12) Have fun, stay positive, and always smile
