Hi, I am Amir!

This is ..

A quick way to

• Introduce me as a human
• Answer some likely questions
• Set expectations about what you can depend on from me as your coworker

This isn't..

• Laying out My expectations for you
• Laying out My plans for our organization and its products

About Me

• I live in Netanya, Israel with one spouse,  three kids,
• I like surfing (waves), skateboarding
• I hate driving to work, that's why i use bicycle or my skateboard
• I love technology.. 

My Job

At minimum

• Attract and retain world-class talent (that's you)
• Set context

If I do something that negatively impacts my ability to retain you, you would be doing me a huge favor if you let me know about it, as soon as possible

If I do something that feels more like telling you how to do your job than setting context, you'd be doing me a huge favor if you let me know about it, as soon as possible

Feedbacks

• I love feedback
• Feedback is critical to my success here
• Three dimensions are required for people to continue to give you feedback:
• Safety should be high (no fear of retaliation)
• Effort should be low (no rebuttals)
• Benefit should be high (positive results)
• Let me know if I don't do well on any of these three dimensions

1:1s

• 1:1s are for you
• 1:1s are not for status updates unless you want to update status
• I’d like to start with high frequency, high length
• I’d like you to figure out when/if/how to taper back

I’m big on work/life balance

• Most folks work between about 8am (at the earliest) to 6pm (at the latest), and unless there’s an emergency, I don’t expect to communicate with you outside of these hours with respect to your local time.
• I try not to respond to e-mails or slack during off-hours and under no circumstances expect you to, unless it’s an emergency.
