Giving enough time to your team members, team collaboration with tech startups, and putting in the effort to up skill yourself
Here are a few highlights from the conversation with Benedict:
Give enough time to your team members: Benedict shared that one thing is has been working on as a manager is spending more time with team members and providing more space to hear their thoughts on specific assignments. This results in better upfront alignment for important projects.
Cross-department collaboration looks very different at tech companies: Benedict has worked at a range of companies and organizations in roles across Growth, Marketing, Business Development and Public Relations. In his work at fast-moving tech companies, he has particularly developed patience and empathy when working with software engineers who must deal with complicated requests and competing priorities.
Globally remote work opportunities are available to those who put in the effort to up skill themselves: Benedict often spends his free time pursuing professional development activities. He says that he never wants to stop learning, and has seen friends leverage such skill building to secure remote roles with global companies.
