Exceptional Leadership:

As an Andelan, you’ll serve as a role model for the rest of the company, you do not need to manage people to be a leader at Andela! Think about the feedback your peers typically give you – if it usually sounds like the below, we want to hear from you.

• Low ego, low drama: You share credit, take blame. You like being wrong because it means someone else had an even better idea.

• One team mentality: You break silos across teams. You put the company and mission first above your team alone.

• Great listener, hungry for feedback: You’re always seeking to improve – our product, our business, yourself. You solicit diverse opinions and deeply listen.

• Owner, not renter: You see a problem, you fix it or find someone who will. The buck stops with you.

• Team-player: You roll up your sleeves and get scrappy. You do this by proactively collaborating with your team while actively engaging in important details that matter.

• Business problem solver: You’re not just a functional expert; you consistently get praise for approaching your function through the lens of solving business problems.
