Barron: Manager Summary

I love good documentation.

1. Forces clear thinking
2. Distills ideas
3. Easy to digest
4. Creates reference for future discussions

Especially when done by hand

After reading a HackerNoon post about the benefits of Manager ReadMe’s, I had to create one.

Here is the document that I share with all the people on my team:

Barron: Manager Summary

I recently onboarded a new PM to the Growth Team, and she was overwhelmingly positive about the Manager Summary. She then proceeded to create her own document about working with her as an employee, which has already paid dividends by clearing up things that would normally be learned through trial and error.

Favorite Management Inspiration:

• Andy Grove — Intel
• Jeff Bezos — Amazon
• Bill Walsh — SF 49ers
• Jason Chicola and Dave Abrameto — Rev
• David Cancel — Drift
• Yvon Chouinard — Patagonia
