I was recently re-reading, actually, listening to Camille Fournier’s The Manager’s path. In one of the chapters, Camille talks about some questions to ask when hiring managers. One of those questions was - What is your management philosophy? This took me by surprise. I hadn’t thought of it myself. How would I have answered that? What is my management philosophy anyway?

Before I used PaperMod as my website’s base theme, I had it using hugo-clarity. Both these themes couldn’t be further apart from one another.
