Colleagues describe her as "I worked in the same department as Sally for 5 years and was her manager for 2 years. Sally possesses many strengths that make her an exceptional employee who is very well suited for project management. Sally has years of experience in managing projects and really excels in large projects like new client implementations, implementation of federal regulations, and migrations from old to new technologies. Projects are always delivered on time and with the highest degree of quality. Sally also possesses excellent interpersonal communication skills which have been integral to the success of projects and especially useful when working with external vendors and prior administrators during new client implementations. She is frequently complimented on her ability to represent her employer and the members of her team professionally and productively even in the most tense, high-stress situations. Sally is the kind of employee you want representing your business!" and "Sally and I have worked together for many years I cannot praise her enough. Organized, detail-oriented but capable of seeing the big picture, she has been an invaluable asset to every project she’s been assigned. Project managers have the unenviable task of holding stakeholders and team members accountable for the timely completion of their assigned tasks. Doing so effectively without being perceived as brusque or pushy isn’t something that’s easily learned. Sally’s personality allows her to guide her projects along to a timely conclusion without alienating project team members. She brings a natural warmth and humor to meetings that sets people at ease, and the confidence she projects of her own abilities and those she works with instills trust in her associates and motivates them to perform at their peak levels. A title doesn’t make a leader; leaders inspire and influence others through their dedication, inspiration and vision. By this definition, Sally is and always has been a natural leader. I can honestly say I would not be in the position I now occupy had Sally not been an early mentor and role model of mine. "
