I often talk about the importance of a product vision to unify and empower a team. A personal vision statement can be just as powerful.
I’ve been acting on this before I put it into words, but I’ve coalesced on “leading with humanity, building things that matter”. Often what I’m building are strong, diverse, remote teams. But regardless of what it is, I’m doing it with purpose and care and recognizing the people who are affected by or contributing to it. All of this of course brings value to any organization, but more importantly, it brings value to my life.
