General Guidelines

• Shiv relates better and works better with people she can connect to.
• Shiv cares a lot about people. She cares about equality, equity, diversity, and being conscious and respectful of other people's needs.

Motivation

• Shiv is motivated by her users. User reports, stories, or any instances where real people are struggling motivate Shiv to work harder.
• Shiv is motivated by deadlines and works well under pressure. She has the ability to juggle multiple projects at once.
• Shiv also has intrinsic motivation just to be the best version of herself. She wants to be better than she was before.
• Shiv responds better to kind and compassionate leadership.

Safety Guidelines

• Although it might not appear so, Shiv is very anxious. It will take time for her to get comfortable around people, but once she is comfortable, she's more vocal.
• Shiv has a tendency to take on too much at once at the cost of eventually burning out. Please tell her to take a break. Tell her it's okay to take a break.
• Shiv likes clear written/visual communication but is also adaptable and able to follow ad hoc verbal communication. Concise and clear instruction is just nice to have.
• Shiv tends to ask questions and some of them might be stupid but it helps her understand and process her own thoughts. She might sometimes ask questions about things she already knows just to make sure she is on the same page as everyone else
• Shiv will follow direct orders because she believes that people around her are smarter and better (imposter syndrome) and that they have the context that she doesn't have (Due to being part of the company longer or them being in meetings she wasn't in). Be clear with Shiv if a request is something that has to happen or a suggestion and there is room to explore.
