About me

Coleman Dash

I'm a design leader with a unique leadership path that gives me an edge.

I navigated leadership at all levels: big corporate, a design agency, early stage startups, a hyper growth company, and entrepreneurship.

My leadership all started with sports:

since a Kid…

I loved playing basketball. In fact, I was in to most sports. It's where I learned teamwork and team building.

How to practice to get better. How to work with others, and how to deal with losses.

…And I Still PLay as An Adult

Hey look, as long as my knees and back are in tact, I'm going to on court, the links, or on a surfboard.

Sports is a big part of my life.

I say all this to say…

Sports taugh me Leadership

Not only teamwork, but how to lead a team. How to celebrate wins, come together after losses, and continually get better.

All the while having fun and enjoying the journey along the way.

And those lessons turned into leading great teams

I was fortunate to lead many teams in my design career. I developed a strong POV on leadership and it's paid off with my teams.

01.

Design Leadership

Many design leaders are ticket-takers. I belive Design should be on equal footing with Product/Eng/Marketing and has an obligation to positively impact ithe business.

Alignment

It's imperative design is aligned to the border product team and the business. This comes down to developing a cohesive product development process, inviting others into the design activities and measuring business impact.

Execution

I started my career at Boeing where I learned all about process, the good kind and the bad kind. I then joined startups where I learned about a world without process. Pros and cons to both but I learned how to marry the two to efficiently execute.

Winning your team's hear is key to high performing team. Having team members that enjoy waht they do, have a sense of purpose, and enjoy their coworks makes for a high performing team.

Trust

Trust to me comes down to three things: Competency (do you know what you are doing); Caring (you have to genuinely care about your employees) and Showing Up (be there for the good, but also the bad).
