After 10+ years in the private sector, including working as a producer in the video game industry ([https://www.ubisoft.com/en-ca/ Ubisoft]), I joined the public service in 2014. Ever since, I’ve been trying to bring modern approaches to the GC to help deliver better services faster to Canadians. I published an article in 2017 on this topic, which made the [https://canadiangovernmentexecutive.ca/dig/23_04/files/assets/common/downloads/publication.pdf cover page of the Canadian Government Executive magazine].

=== Leadership Style ===

=== Leadership Style ===

We have a great team! I believe that a high-performing organization is one that is made up of talented people where team members have each other’s back, trust each other and hold each other accountable – [https://www.executiveagenda.com/application/files/3215/6401/6016/fivedysfunctions.pdf pretty much what’s in here].  In our team, we have a ''Work Hard & Play Hard'' mentality which makes being part of our team fun and gratifying. That’s why we hire based on competency and potential, and also on fit and behaviors; as how you deliver results is just as important as the results themselves.

That’s why we hire based on competency and potential, as well as on character, behaviors and mutual fit. For us, ''how you deliver results'' is just as important as ''the results you deliver''.  

I believe in self-empowered teams, supported by clear decision-making. I really liked some of the concepts in [https://www.principles.com/ Ray Dalio’s book Principles], especially the concepts of radical truth and radical transparency. When you have a culture of open sharing of information and open and respectful discussions, you get to better results quicker. I also believe in a clear hierarchy of decision-making. This doesn’t mean that the most senior person is always right, but at the end of the day, they are accountable for the decision and the result and should therefore have the decision-making authority. In many cases, the leader will and should go with the team’s (and the experts’) recommendations. It’s what Ray calls “believability” – which is not the same thing as decision-making authority. I think that this model brings a good balance of empowering teams, good and trustworthy discussions and brings it all together with clear decision-making aligned to goals and vision.

Our leaders also take great pride in empowering our teams and working closely with team members to support their career growth. One of the greatest testimony of our success is when one of our employees gets a promotion, whether within our organization and beyond.

=== Work – Life Balance ===

=== Work – Life Balance ===

I believe that jobs in the GC are really good jobs. They are not the best paid jobs, but they come with an opportunity to help increase the quality of life of all Canadians – that’s pretty amazing – and our salaries are paid from the taxes we collect from citizens. This comes with the accountability and duty to “give it your all” and take your job very seriously. So yes, we have deadlines, I hold my team to account, I make sure their performance is in line with expectations, I tell them when they fall short, we have difficult conversations when they fall short too often and I support them with the tools and training so they can get where they need to be. I do all this because its my job and we owe it to Canadians.  

I believe that jobs in the GC are good jobs. They are not the best paid jobs, but they come with an opportunity to help increase the quality of life of all Canadians – that’s pretty amazing! We must also keep in mind that our salaries are paid from the taxes we collect from citizens and businesses. This comes with the accountability and duty to “give it our all” and take our job very seriously. So yes, we have deadlines, I hold my team to account, I make sure their performance is in line with expectations, I tell them when they fall short, we have difficult conversations when they fall short too often and I support them with the tools and training so they can get where they need to be. I do all this because it's my job and we owe it to Canadians.  

At the same time, I know that outcomes are more important than outputs, that tired and stressed employees are not productive, that there’s more to life than work and that ultimately, a happy, engaged and competent workforce is one that will best serve Canadians. So it’s in this interesting context that I try to find the right balance of ''Work Hard & Play Hard'' and yes, having the right balance – or integration – of work and life is important to me personally and professionally.

=== Flexible Work Arrangements ===

=== Flexible Work Arrangements ===

I started my career in the private sector and until joining the public service, I had always managed dispersed and asynchronous teams. I’ve grown in a culture where the results of your work are much more important than the when and the where you work. We try to hire the best in our teams. In return, we trust our teams to do what they do best. This means that they can – within applicable terms of conditions and rules – decide where and when they work, as long as it does not introduce risks and negatively impact team productivity and service levels. Given the nature of the job duties, aside from a few exceptions, most roles in my team can be filled and performed from anywhere in Canada – where there’s a good Internet connection :-)
