Profile bio
About David Watts
I excel at getting teams to work towards a common goal.Over the past six years, I have taken on a succession of large teams that were struggling with direction. By establishing a clear ambition and working with the senior team members on what defined team success, I have turned those teams around by aligning individuals’ efforts with the company’s key objectives.To achieve that success, I bring energy and enthusiasm to the teams I work with. I agree common problems with the team that are consistent with the wider ambition of the company. We then solve those problems together harvesting the best ideas and ensuring the team owns the solution. That requires clear communication, followed by frequent conversations where I listen. How can each person contribute most to the desired company goal? Is what they’re working on, well aligned with that objective?
