I pride myself by leading by example. Not just at the workplace. But also maintaining and taking care of your family and home first. If your home and family is not in order, your quality of work is limited More importantly, I strongly believe in communication and always remaining open to learn something new. We are never to old to learn something new. I enjoy communicating with peers and subordinates to maintain overall success. There is no task that is below me or a task that I can not handle.
