AS A DESIGN MANAGER, Jim Stewart brands himself a coach. In this role, the challenges are not only to assemble the players and monitor their performance, but also to track the ever‐shifting position of the goal. Stewart looks for people who are driven, passionate, and respectful. He emphasizes open communications with designers and nondesigners alike. He puts great effort into motivating colleagues, and he promotes a design process and design environment that encourage a broad range of contributions and spontaneous input.
