Derek Brown's Linkedin Analytics

Regardless of the hat I'm wearing at the time, from leading a team of extraordinary people to building fantastic products to leading within the community, these principles guide me: ► People First - Technology should assist its users, not hinder them. Leadership is an act of serving. Keeping people at the forefront of whatever it is you do is imperative. ► Manage Processes, Lead People - High caliber talent doesn't need to be babysat. Systems do. ► Scalable Leadership is Key - Great companies do not only focus on shipping products, but they focus on developing leaders. ► Joyful Leadership - Do what you love. Love what you do. Work hard, play hard. Produce and party. ► Work with Integrity - What you do in private should match who you are in public. No secrets, no surprises. ► Get Things Done - Talk is cheap. Lead well, ship products on time, make things happen, be direct when necessary. ► Reverse Engineer Your Desired Outcome - Start with the vision, work backwards to now. Fill in the necessary steps in-between.
