He is always thoughtful to acknowledge the work of others and the outputs of collaboration, giving credit where credit is due. Mike passionately cares about his work and it shows. Mike shows great empathy and pragmatism as a manager and leader and demonstrates this with proactive support, while at the same time always balancing the need for a high standard in professional goals, objectives and outputs." and "Mike worked for us at Patients First while I was CEO there.
