A great team
Think of all of the things that you love. In my case, i love anything that is challenging, and requires a team. A point in time where ideas are constantly flowing and the possibilities are endless. A team where everyone cares for one another and would give up anything for each other. Simply put, a family.
A place where there is no single dictator, everyone is equal, and any idea is a possible goldmine. Analogous to a green-light session, where every idea is plausible and NO does not exist. A concept of synergy amongst each other, a concept of encouragement and infinite strength.
For example, I felt this when I was getting my Masters degree at University of Chicago, and we were assigned a database project to model a professor evaluation survey. I remember sitting in a board room with two of my colleagues, Raja Bose and Carlos Rivera, and spending countless hours trying to figure out a database model. I remember thinking at this moment : “I love to be around brilliant people that are open and don’t bring others down”, it is much more energizing, and healthy for yourself and the others. Our model ended up being 20 pages taped next to each other, this is definitely something that I would have never designed on my own.
This where I visualize Cameesa in a very short period of time. I respect everyone on the team and I strongly feel that everyone brings something different to the table, I feel that once the ball gets rolling then the opportunities will be endless.
When was the last time you were part of a great team?
