  1. My CEO has time to write back to every single employee no matter where they happen to be on the organizational chart. She does not take a huge check no matter how the company is doing. She keeps every single one of us in the loop about how the company is doing. Basically, she cares. People talk a lot of smack about my company; how it does not care for people, how its all about metrics. Truth is, every company has a profit bottom line. They just make the truth more palatable by adding euphemistic ideals and language to their bottom line. However, I value transparency and truth and I think i have it here. Honestly, by taking time to reply – and in length – to every email however trivial, and by addressing every issue, my CEO has actually increased my confidence (as a female engineer – the only one in my team) and commitment to the organization

  2. Motivation and information. She communicates and show how are we doing, the big picture of the company and motivates us in moving forward! She is on top of the main issues but also knows about the teams and how are they doing. Sends congratulations with specific names when a goal is reached.
