“Mike is the kind of manager that makes a life-long impression on you. He’s a unique person that *truly* gets people and makes them feel seen, especially folks that often feel ignored or overlooked. He’s the right balance of maximizing what you’re good at (your MAGIC, what makes you UNIQUE) and pushing you just enough. He always believed in me even when I didn’t believe in myself. Mike’s incredibly intelligent, creative, and very funny. He is also an inspiring leader, someone that you want to follow and absorb from like a little sponge. He knew that I liked feeling appreciated, so he would often publicly shout out my work and my team's work in Slack. This made such a positive impact on my mental health. Sadly I find that these qualities are quite rare in upper management so I pretty much told Mike that I’d follow him wherever he goes.”
