Job Overview:

• I want to surround myself with people stronger than me in their areas of experience/expertise.
• I want to be a part of a team that is open and honest with one another, respectfully.
• I am open-minded to new perspectives and opinions because I want to learn and improve my understanding every day.
• Assumptions can divide teams and lead to poor decision making so I ask questions even when I think I have all of the information.
• I am not afraid to admit when I, or one of my direct reports, have made a mistake. Mistakes allow for learning and growth.
• My feeling of achievement comes from seeing my peers and direct reports succeed more than from my own success.
