“Matthew has been a fantastic manager of mine during my career at IBM. He never loses sight of the human aspect of managing teams, which is all too easy to do. He regularly has one-on-one meetings with all of his subordinates to catch up and be proactive toward potential issues. He encourages personal growth as well, and has helped foster my soft and technical skills in technology by encouraging team ownership, shared responsibility, and taking the initiative. Morale is helped by his approach of ensuring that we know why we are doing certain tasks and giving us the bigger picture so we are not just moving tickets from left to right on the board. Matt encourages us to never accept the status quo, and to always improve and automate tasks which are inefficient. I hope the rest of my career has superiors with a similar mindset and energy.”

Whenever someone says, "It's not that complicated" about human behavior, I have a nice little laugh.
