# Neil Trodden's Manager Readme

**Platform Team Lead at tombola**

# Motivation for this document

To keep me from being distracted from what is not important.

# My role

To align everything our team does to the business needs and ensure we are all able to contribute and deliver value.

# What do I value most?

Taking responsibility for driving us forward in the right direction. Don't wait for me to tell you what you are supposed to think, convince me and I'll support you.

# My Expectations

Be authentic and do what you say you are going to do.

# 1:1s

Once a month I have a 121 with everyone. No agenda, and we somehow always seem to fill the time.

# Personality quirks

I have a responsibility to you to make it so you don't even have to be concerned with my quirks, whatever they may be. I'll keep it simple and make it easy, you shouldn't need to work around me.

# Where to focus on your first 90 days?

Show rather than tell - if people trust that I can do what I say I will, we'll be alright.
