SUMMARY
AND
OBJECTIVE
My
strength
lies
in
self-­‐knowledge
and
inspiring
excellence
in
the
people
around
me.
As
a
leader
I
am
steady,
persuasive,
and
commanding.
I
constantly
push
the
people
around
me
out
of
their
comfort
zone
and
into
a
place
where
their
best
work
is
realized.
Management
to
me
is
an
art
of
subtle
maneuvering
with
an
occasional
structural
adjustment.
I
approach
work
how
I
approach
life-­‐
openly,
courageously,
and
creatively.
