11. Leadership Skills
Iraq (2006)
I led a team to Baghdad
to conduct a test for the
US Ambassador and
MNFI. It was the first
time my unit conducted a
test in a combat zone.
I want to lead the project nobody else wants. Hard. Ugly. Complex. High risk.
I encourage my people to think & actoutside the box.
I empowermy teams to give their best and get them the resources to succeed.
We are always successful. Always.
"The challenge of leadership is to be strong, but not rude. Be kind, but not weak.
Be bold, but not a bully. Be thoughtful, but not arrogant.
Have humor, but without folly.”Jim Rohn
12. People Skills
I have these…in spades.
I am a motivator
Adult conversations are key to solving problems
Iam anempathic listener
People matter! Building relationships of trust, respect, and productive interactions
is at the heart of my leadership style.
The most basic of all human needs
is the needto understand
and
be understood.

When the boss wants massive changes to a PowerPoint brief and there are only
10 minutes before presentation time…

15. Integrity & Moral Fiber
I am loyalto people I work with and my organization.
I fulfill my obligations and accept responsibility for my actions.
I treat others with respect and understand it’s a reflection on how I view myself.
I have discipline, self-control and faith in the system.
I lead and follow with honor. Character matters! Especially in tough times.
I do the right thing legally & morally, even when no one is looking.
I face adversity with personal courage.
These aren’t just words to me.
They’re my moral compass that guide all my
actions and decision-making.

Anyone can accomplish anything if they don’t care who gets the credit.
Innovation is a team sport. What I believe:
Give 100% to every task
Create an empowering work environment
Set the example
Go the extra mile
Never quit until the job is done
Have a sense of urgency
Think outside the box
Maintain a positive attitude andhave fun
The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job, and the determination that
whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.
