Kathy S. Email & Phone Number

Kathy S. is a Operations | Leadership | Creative Process Change at Hannaford Supermarkets. Colleagues describe her as "Kathy is a leader that understands the value and difference of being a leader and a manager. She acts on the knowledge that the responsibility of leadership occurs from within the group and not from the formal hierarchy of the company. Having the situational awareness to help others assume different roles in the course of business is a strength that encourages others to lead when they have the solution and the passion to push forward. It is the balance of listening, empowering, and when she has to makes a command decision that gave Kathy strength in the roles I have seen her in. Most that you hear these attributes about have difficulty with details, not Kathy. Kathy also has the ability to be a very detailed individual contributor when it is called for and in the process of training people can teach how the smallest of actions influence the short and middle range goals of the department, division, or company. Today the corporate environment speaks to the need of communication and relationships. What many forget is that the purpose of communication and relationships is to create change or to be able to challenge the status quo. Kathy uses her relationships to honor the past, challenge today, in order to determine if yesterday’s practice will still be tomorrow’s solution." and "Kathy and I worked together when I was the Regional HR Manager for the Distribution Center she manages. Kathy possesses an authentic management style. She looks for creative solutions to business issues. I found her easy to work with, receptive to others ideas, and an active leader in developing her staff to their full potential. She is highly collaborative and it was my pleasure to support she and her team."
