Has anyone ever asked you, “What’s Your Why?” If you’re familiar with this phrase, then chances are you’ve either read or heard of the best-selling leadership book from Simon Sinek, Start with Why. If you haven’t read it, we’d highly recommend it. In the video below, we decided to ask our senior leadership about why they came to Shockwave.
It turns out that our team has come to Shockwave for many different reasons, but at the end of the day it’s to make a lasting impact. Developing a game-changing technology with innovative and passionate colleagues in a startup environment is a unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience. Learn why our leaders have chosen to dedicate their careers to bringing the promise of Intravascular Lithotripsy to fruition.
