PERSONAL STATEMENT
Techniques that have been effective for me are, an action driven leadership style that is a source of pride, yet am polite,
approachable and non-intimidating to my workmates with a pleasant demeanor, including the ability to triumph over
problems, a highly self-motivated individual with a systematic and logical approach to challenges,flexible with the strength
of being able to apply and transfer different skill sets as required.
Personal energy levels and commitment to tasks at hand are measured by a sense of excitement and a willingness to "go
the extra mile" for the company. Willing to learn with innovative and planning skills, I am a go-getter. I believe in setting
goals to achieve success.
Individual assets are organization and creation of order out of confusion, nonetheless my weakness is that I have little
patience for people who don't value the same sense of order that I do, something I've worked on very hard over the years.
Realizing that presentation of an idea is just as important as the idea itself. When encouraging people, I try to place myself
in their position and think about their perspective,I'm then able to present thoughts to themin a way more likely to end in
success.
