5. Executive Skill’s- Richard Martinez
Leading Change -
Over the pasttwenty years in both the public and private sectors I have been able to bring about
strategic change and meetorganizational goals with proven leadership skills and ability.While
serving as the AssistantDirector of Human Resources,Regional Human Resources Director,and
Regional Administrative Officer I was able to provide senior leadership in such major organizational
changes as Centralization,reducing the real estate footprintand national disaster assistance.While
working in Corporate America I served as a Human Resources Manager,Regional HR Director and
Diversity Director where I provided leadership thatachieved a transformation ofnumerous work
environments and costsavings due to a continuouslyever changing environment.
One of my biggestleadership challenges was when myagencyclosed 106 local and regional Human
Resource offices across the country and centralized all of its HR functions into one location.My
executive duties and responsibilities range from assisting in the development and implementation of
a new organizational vision to maintaining dayto day policy and operation ofhuman capital
managementfor over 38,000 full time employees and 15,000 seasonal employee’s nationwide.This
required of me a high level of competencyin change management, national policy, financial
resources, making and implementing new or cutting –edge programs and processes thatinclude
political,economic,social,technological and administrative direction.
Other areas where I have been successful as a leader ofchange included Human Capital Planning,
Workforce Analysis,Valuing Diversity, Employee and Labor Relations,Safety, Leadership
Development,Organizational Developmentand Transformation ofBusiness.Ialso believe I was
successful in leading change because ofmyleadership skills and abilities thatincluded experiences
with operations,budgeting and strategic planning.
I have devoted my work life to improving the work environmentand impacting the bottom line by
exercising leadership,strengthening partnerships, developing and promoting organizational
engagement,and ensuring thatthe organizations strategic plans,mission,and vision are achieved.
Leading People -
I have been fortunate over the years to work alongside manydifferent styles of successful leaders.
And because ofthese diverse experiences in both the public and private sectors I have been able to
shape myown successful style of leadership.
I have become the kind of leader who will not only roll up my sleeves and work alongside mystaff but
I have learned how to motivate, inspire,nurture and influence others to accomplish the mission at
hand.This style of leadership has been very successful for me because itis the kind of leadership
that is trusted, respected and results oriented.
I also believe that developing future leaders is an extremely importantpartof my leadership style.I
help develop them by coaching them to understand thatbecoming a successful and effective leader
is more than administrating services. Its understanding your resources,organizational goals and
customer expectations, valuing them and maximizing them so they can achieve the desired outcome.
One of my mostrewarding experiences ofLeading People was during a recruiting effortfor Corporate
America. I was asked to find hundreds ofemployees who were willing to relocate to rural American
and to work long hours in very hard working conditions.Istarted by developing a strategic plan and
discussing thatplan with the local city and state officials,educational institutions,state and Federal
housing programs,financial institutions,economic development and several state unemployment
offices.
I was able to have the state of California committo recruiting,training and verifying eligibilityof
hundreds ofunemployed citizens who wanted to work and who would be willing to relocate to other
states.While working with that state I was able to meetand plan with the receiving cities,states and
local officials to help prepare for the increase in populations to their cities,housing,schools and
commercial businesses. The firstcity and state to participate was Crete,Nebraska.
The end resultwas our corporation was able to find and hire workers who were willing to relocate to
urban America and several receiving states where able to increase their populations, taxable base,

6. housing,schools and other commercial business as a directresultof my ability to lead people.
Results Driven-
Over the pasttwenty years I have led manydiverse groups of people in a vast array of programs,
projects and activities in both the public and private sectors. I have been very proud of the fact that I
have been able to give and seek cooperation and reciprocityfrom my staff, customers, stakeholders,
union officials,and other senior managementofficials to accomplishing organizational vision,mission
and common goals.
I have been able to do this by being a catalyst for transition of change and by providing creative,
consistent,innovative ideas,designs,solutions and leadership.
A few of the programs,activities and assignments thatI have produced high-qualityresults included
areas such as Centralization, Diversity, Affirmative Action, Employee and Labor Relations,Union
Negotiations,Succession Planning,Organizational Development,Leadership Development,
Recruitment,Risk Management, Business Transition and Continuityof Operation.
One of the mostchallenges programs butmostsuccessful was the developmentand implementation
of the HSPD-12 program for the US ForestService. USDA the parentagency had given the Forest
Service a dead line to develop and implementa program byand I was the AssistantDirector
assigned to it. I gathered a team and lead the developmentof the strategic plan and we were able to
not only meetUSDA expectations but exceeded them and were awarded a national award for the
developmentand implementation ofthe program thatwould be used by USDA and the Forest
Service.
Business Acumen -
As a Regional Administrative Officer, Regional Human Resource Officer and Agency Assistant
Director of Human Capital ManagementI have been very successful over the years in managing
human,financial and information resources strategically.
I have had the pleasure ofmanaging such programs as Centralization ofServices, Building
Construction, National Human Capital Management,Recruiting,Regional and National Diversityand
Affirmative Action planning,negotiated union agreements,National EmergencyContingencyplans
and National Home Land Security HSPD-12 programs.
For many years i have managed and overseen budgets for these and other programs in both the
public and private sector. I have had complete financial executive responsibilities with budgets in
excess of $180 million dollars. Iwas not only responsible for assessing currentand future needs of
local,state and national programs thatimpacted 60,000 full time employees and another 20,000
seasonal employees butIalso had to assure that sound financial internal controls were being applied
correctly by staff at the regional and national locations.
I have also had additional responsibilities ofoverseeing human capital managementprocurement,
contracting,procedures and budgeting for a large number ofprograms including national disaster
responses,space consolidation and safety.
Several natural disasters occurred within in my region while I was Regional Administrative Officer/
Regional Human Resource Officer and these disasters required myleadership in managing human,
financial and information resources strategically. I served as the approving authority for a full range of
responsibilities including procurement,contracting,integrating and coordinating oflogistical human
resources operations for hundreds ofemployees and volunteers.Imanaged setting the type of pay,
limits,rotating employees,travel authorization,and manyother coordinating functions with city, state,
federal and local officials.
Over the pasttwenty years I have been fortunate to be a part of so manyprojects,programs and
activities that acquired myskills and abilities to administer human,financial,material,and information
resources in a manner which instills public trustwhile accomplishing the organizations mission,and
goals.

7. Building Coalitions -
As an executive Regional Administrative Officer, Regional Human Resource Officer,Diversity and
Affirmative Action Director and the Agency AssistantDirector of Human Capital ManagementIhave
been very successful in building and maintaining effective working relationships,negotiations and
discussions with so manylevels of representatives in tribal,local,state, union officials and other
federal officials.
Over the twenty years as an executive leader I have been able to develop a large network of internal
and external resources that have helped me accomplish manydifferentgoals and task in both the
public and private sectors.
I have worked with such organizations as Federal Executive Board,Federal Hispanic Executive
Council,United Way, Red Cross,Urban League,National Council of La Raza, Disabled American
Veterans, YMCA, Boys Clubs ofAmerica, Good Will Industries,State Vocational Rehabilitation,
FEMA, Black Engineers Association,Hispanic Engineers,Oklahoma and New Mexico Tribal
Councils,Sprint,Disney,Food Banks of New Mexico, DOD, Home land Security, Los Alamos,
Boarder Patrol, state and local law enforcement.
It’s been a pleasure to communicate complexand politicallysensitive issues to various audiences
such as senior agencyofficials,staff, stakeholders,customers and other city, state and federal
officials.I enjoy the challenge of explaining,advocating and expressing ideas to a vast array of
internal and external parties.
