Dave Howard is a Executive Vice President at ServiceLink at ServiceLink. Colleagues describe him as "Dave is a knowledgeable, fair, driven, business-savvy leader. He challenges his managers to give their best, expects exceptional results in return, and holds himself to the same lofty standards. His leadership style is collaborative. His character is grounded in honesty and integrity. His personality is sincere with a great sense of humor. He consistently balances the best interests of the client and the company to generate mutually beneficial outcomes. I have grown personally and professionally working with Dave, who leads, coaches and mentors through an open-door policy and a genuine commitment to empowering his teams.", "I have worked both for, and alongside Dave over the years and have found his management style to be one focused on successful execution. In observing Dave in the role of Sales Manager to his reports, he sets high goals, and then manages aggressively to achieve those goals through coaching and mentoring his teams. As a manager of managers, Dave is very effective in defining a plan, setting the guidelines for execution of the plan, and then providing his managers with the tools and support for them to achieve the plan. Dave's work as a strategist (whether in a sales engagement/client retention situation, or in crafting new processes and organizational alignments) is highly regarded and his opinions are sought out by executives and peers across the company. Dave is a leader, not just a manager, and he sets the stage with clear communications and actions that help drive his organization to success.", and "I had the pleasure of working with Dave when, in addition to his current role, he took on the role as diversity leader. Dave was able to very quickly get up to speed on current diversity trends while assessing and developing Metavante's diversity strategy. I partnered with Dave on the creation and implementation of an executive mentoring program designed to address retention and promotion opportunities among various employee populations. Small teams of employee participants were assigned a top-level executive mentor to assist the teams in their efforts to create solutions to Company issues. In addition to time spent with their executive mentors, teams participated in skill assessment and skill building activities. A true testament to the greatness of the program is the fact that it still exists at the Company today! I have always been impressed with Dave's ability to hone in on the true issue/cause and his ability to develop solid strategies to address the issue/cause. Even more impressive is Dave's ability to get results. Significant strides were made to move diversity forward under Dave's leadership."
