What we can't work with is someone who surfaces a problem and stops there. We need people who come with the problem and a proposed path forward, even if it's not perfect. That goes both ways: you'll hold yourself accountable to the standard, and you won't hesitation to hold the team to it too. If something's off, you say so. If you need something to do your job, you ask for it. That's not a weakness here, it's exactly how we operate.
