I am currently an Operations Section Manager, overseeing three units, with over 20 workloads between them. I have found the path to success in operational units is to be a transparent and inspiring leader, encouraging my management staff and technicians to keep an open mind and be excited about all of the technological changes the department is undertaking. This philosophy has helped me in both the public and private sector and helps me achieve success with reluctant staff. Additionally, I strive to include staff input in decisions about process improvements, backlog reductions, and boosting morale.
