- This Supervisor has commitment not only to his on site team but to Equity as a whole. He leads a large team that has many members of different ethnic and cultural backgrounds. Early in his leadership he had made a commitment to understand how each member communicates and processes in order to create a high productive and engaged team. He listens and respects the perspectives and experiences of his team members.
- What makes him stand out is the fact that he had to embrace challenging factors of his hon before getting to a position of leadership himself. he recognized areas of his communication, reactions, and non-verbal behaviors that did not cause a positive and productive team. He made a decision to work on these areas until he came to a point where he took responsibility to learn about the human process and how oppressions work in everyday life.
