Ready to reframe your perspective on team management? Join us as we chat with Patrick Ayertey, Business Security Lead at Twilio, who shares his journey from being an individual contributor (IC), to a manager. Patrick's unique philosophy of leadership, deeply rooted in empathy and recognizing individual personalities within a team, might just inspire you to rethink your own approach.
Our conversation with Patrick is not just about leadership; it's a deep dive into the essence of human connection in a professional setting. Drawing upon his cultural background from Ghana and his experience as a music director, Patrick seamlessly blends these diverse perspectives into his management style. We unpack the importance of transparency and trust in manager-employee relationships and how understanding business dynamics can bolster career growth. Patrick also shares some interesting strategies he uses to build relationships within his team.
Finally, we explore Patrick's progressive strategies for working cross-functionally with high-level executives and in tailoring requirements to the business context. Patrick emphasizes the need to understand the 'why' behind regulations and requirements. We conclude the episode with a fascinating look into Patrick's personal projects, like teaching cloud engineering and creating music as an expression. This engaging conversation with Patrick ultimately challenges leaders to focus more on people than outcomes for team success.
