Who knew that as a child when I was tearing my toys apart to see how they worked it was a precursor to a successful career in management. Today, processes are my toys and I still like to tear them apart. However now, when I put them back together they work better, faster and smoother.As business requirements change and we strive for Operational Excellence organizations must change as well. I have successfully led this effort through• Sound Strategic Planning and a tactical approach • Passion for Innovation and an entrepreneurial spirit • A bit of rule bending and occasionally even breaking• Strong leadership through the disruption of change• A continuous improvement approach• Strong project management skills• Firsthand experience in marketing, sales, R&D, engineering, and operations.An ability to remain calm in turbulent situations and find a way through with minimal disruption helps as well. My guideposts are • Honesty• Respect.• IntegrityI treat people with these in mind and insist that my organizations do the same. This ability continues to serve me well, especially as we navigate through• Demanding Project delivery requirements • Disruptive innovation• Employee RetentionSo, when you walk into your child’s bedroom and see that new toy laying in pieces on the floor, take heart, they may have a bright future in management ahead of them!
