Phil Stern Email & Phone Number

Phil Stern is a Engineering Manager at Harris RF Communications. Colleagues describe him as "Phil is an insightful, technically skilled manager who uses common sense and intellect to make decisions. He is honest, soft spoken, and sensible, and his decisions are based on facts and hard analysis. Phil isn't afraid to speak out against current "prevailing opinions," and always bases his statements on data. He was one of the first managers I worked for who didn't insist on holding a meeting "just to get together," but who would cancel if it made sense to allow his engineers and techs to get real work done. It was incredibly refreshing to see such a unique attitude. Phil is also a people person, able to relate to and connect with people of all levels on every level. Whenever one of his employees had problems at home or needed help, he was there to support them, unconditionally. This was appreciated by one and all, and each of his employees was devoted to him as a manager and friend as a result. Phil didn't hold his supervisor status over anyone's head. He treated his people as equals, and earned high levels of loyalty through this attitude. In addition, Phil is a super communicator, writer, and presenter, providing technically savvy, well-written communiques in all forums. I highly recommend Phil for any endeavor in his field or in a new arena!" and "While at Heidelberg Digital, LLC as a design engineer, I reported directly to Phil Stern in his capacity as engineering manager. In that role, Phil provided engineering direction for the electrophotographic team and mentoring for myself personally as I grew in my first role as a team leader. Phil is a very capable leader. Phil is able to clearly set direction for his staff, his approach is balanced between task delegation and individual contribution, and he is able to keep his team moving forward without an overbearing presence. Phil has a calm, laid back style with is direct reports, while he is able to maintain an assertive style when necessary to negotiate schedule, resource needs, and requirements to succeed through design gates. I thoroughly enjoyed my time working for Phil at Heidelberg Digital, LLC, and I strongly recommend him for future work as an engineer or engineering manager."
