Drawing from my extensive experiences, I discuss the importance of defining what you want from your team and what you don't, creating clear company values, and setting non-negotiables. I emphasize the essence of leadership, honesty, and vulnerability in establishing a supportive and productive workplace. Through personal anecdotes, including overcoming cancer and fostering a culture of continual learning, I illustrate the impact of strong, open communication and the necessity of walking the walk.
