Willis Thompson
Tulsa,OK
Summary
My Gallup strengths are ideation, communication, empathy/connectedness. I'm a strategic thinker, excellent in analyzing data, processes, organizational culture and the use of technology - particularly around what could go wrong or what could be. I am not distracted by the status quo.
I am also a participatory leader that engages people, primarily by truly caring about the whole person. I work well with intelligent, curious and self motivated teams wanting to be challenged out of their comfort zone.
