Personal - Motivation

A promise I make to myself is to consistently bring out the best in everyone I work with. Providing an inclusive environment is important to me as I know what it feels like moving to a new place and settling in from scratch. I never see an individual’s lack of ability but rather a leader’s lack of adaptability. I vary approaches and methodology if it helps create a better development plan for particular individuals. I pride myself in my people management and ability to promote a healthy leader – team relationship. My team will always work with me and never just for me. My success is only elevated by the achievements of everyone else.
