As my leadership skills matured, I quickly discovered a much better way - MATCH PEOPLE experiencing pain points TO PEOPLE offering solutions. Thus was born my informal job title: E-Harmony.gov.Agnostic of technology or domain, when the proposed match "hit it off" and collaborated, we consistently delivered paradigm-breaking wins.
