This is me. 👉🏽

These are my core values:

• Don't take yourself too serious.
• Work hard, be kind, good things will follow.
• Trust people.

User Manual for Andreas:

• I tend to be very direct, sometimes it comes across in a judging way.
  • This is something i am actively working on.
    • Please let me know if i overdid my directness.
  • I never mean to judge people; mainly context
    • Context X People = Outcome
    • You can put amazing people in bad context and they will struggle
    • I always want to understand & improve context so that awesome people can thrive
• I tend to think & talk very abstract, focus on game theory, high-level concept and worry about things that are 5 years down the line or offend some random aspects of conceptual purity
  • Call me out and let me know when you have no idea what I am trying to say or if I am wasting time by getting way too ahead of the problem
• I am very process and productivity oriented
  • Here is how i think about management

If you got feedback or random ideas

• Just dm me @andreasklinger
  • Even if we never talked. Or if it's just a random product idea. Just DM me
  • I am very germanic. I will tell you if I don't have interest, time or bandwidth.
    • So – by default – just assume you can literally overload me with your thoughts until i say stop.
• Important: If anyone from my team ever treats you unkind let me know asap please
