I look at being a manager, supervisor, and leader as being a part of the team, not the boss, and endeavor to make sure all levels of employees feel included. I experience similar obstacles as my staff and I strive to make sure they know I am here to help support and lead everyone to a common goal. I aim to bring compassion and understanding to every situation in a way that does not compromise what we need to accomplish.
