Summary
Dedicated, genuine, fair, focused, organized, motivated and hard working. I have the balance between the healthy sense of urgency and the slow down and think for that one extra second that ultimately ends up saving you time. I don't do everything myself. I am a team leader, I always give my team recognition for their hard work and dedication. It's important to have pride, not ego. A good leader gives their team the tools, sets them up for success and is in the trenches with them. My father taught me that.
