Attitude: Make sense of the numbers. Worked for a week night shift in the Water plant to get to grips what is happening, enabling better interpretation of the information I worked with.Life Lesson: don't expect others to do work you are not prepared to do yourself. Application: lead by example, set realistic expectations. To do so, while being a branch manager I became a certified fork lift driver, proved daily delivery targets are realistic by meeting them myself, and improved efficiency of paint matching by doing it myself and get to grips with the road blocks that were in place.Moved from Management accountant, to Branch manager and later Sales admin manager, doing planning for about 2 million litres of paint sold per year, through 15+ branches. I was the first non-sales person appointed to manage a branch of this company.
