Amy P.

Senior Director, Global Talent Development

How do you empower your team to be more creative?

The trick to empowering creativity is encouraging frequent communication and iteration. Embrace behaviors, not platitudes, that remind the team there is no such thing as failure. Embed creativity and make it more than a tagline. Show that nothing is unsalvageable; focus on ‘why’ things occurred, and make everything a learning opportunity.

Mary

Senior Manager, User Experience

How do your team's ideas influence the company's direction?

We don't just follow trends, we set them! We influence the direction of our company by immersing ourselves in a user-centric culture.
