How to Work With Me - Personal Read Me Guide Example

This 'How to' guide is my favorite tool to set and communicating boundaries at work while acting as a great collaborator. I wrote this note when I was Group PM at LinkedIn in their Sunnyvale (CA) HQ.

Many colleagues told me they really appreciated my transparent approach to collaboration and the example I set in communicating my boundaries.
