Over the past decade, I've worked with many amazing managers, leaders, and company cultures. These experience have a huge influence on me and made who I am today. I've been thinking a lot about the values I care about most to be a contributor and leader at work. Finally wrote them down so I can use it to continuously evaluate and improve myself. While there are probably a million other values out there, these are the most important ones to me.
