AWARDS

SEVERAL YEARS OF SERVICE AWARDS, EMPLOYEES OF THE MONTH FOR THE WHOLE DEPARTMENT, MEDALLION FOR WORKING DURING THE NEW EXPANSION

COMMUNICATION

When I was an Operations Shift Supervisor, I had daily pre-shift meetings with my floor attendants and cashiers, to communicate new changes, news, or any issues that they needed to be aware of. This also opened a line of communication for them to convey the issues they were dealing with as well.

LEADERSHIP

I believe one hundred percent in Core Values. I believe in Servant Leadership, Stewardship, Perseverance, Selflessness, Teamwork, a Can-Do Attitude, Trust and Respect, Loyalty, and Honesty and Integrity. I believe that if you are a Servant Leader, good to your sub-ordinates, and work hard for them, for the most part, in turn, they will be good to you and work hard for you. It’s very important to set a good example.
