John M. Email & Phone Number

John M. is a Lead Software Engineer | Commerce at The Walt Disney Company. Colleagues describe them as "I learned my leadership style from John. It was the opposite of the authoritarian style from so many other people. It was "be free, just get your work done, and we'll celebrate when all of our work is done!" I wasn't scrutinized by the minute and I was allowed to do what I do. I can't express how much stress this takes off of your back. I'm the lead for a dozen developers, and they tell me the same thing. They work too much some times (I've told them that), but they do it because they love it, they're proud of their work, and they feel appreciated. John showed that appreciation for me and everyone else on our team when we worked together, and that stuck with me. Everyone in a leadership position should lead like this." and "I didn't often get to work with John, but I always enjoyed the times when we crossed paths. John is a very smart and talented individual, able to understand and explain complicated technical processes with an ease and patience not often seen. He's a great team player, and funny too!"
