Leadership Philosophy • Know your supervisor’s philosophy • Know his/her supervisor’s philosophy • Your boss’s priorities should be your priorities • Know your boss’s agenda…work your boss’s agenda • Bring solutions and COAs…not just problems • Develop/refine your own philosophy/style
Ashley’s Leadership Philosophy • Attitude is EVERYTHING. I believe in a HOOAH can-do attitude! • My job is to take care of you, mentor and nurture you, provide the resources needed, stay out of your way, and grow the next generation of leaders • You watch my 6 and I watch yours • We will have fun • One team-One Fight • I will always trust you…until you prove yourself untrustworthy • I like to get out from behind my desk and walk around • I like to talk to people, get out of the office & avoid unnecessary meetings • I hold everyone accountable for their duties and responsibilities • Recognition (formal and informal) is vital – never met an award category I didn’t like if we have deserving nominees • We will work reasonable hours and make time for our families - your families are important to me and you • Make sure you run out of career before you run out of family • Personal (haircuts, uniforms) and workcenter appearances are very important
Ashley-isms • The key to happiness is low standards. • Face it…by definition – half of us are below average. • I might not be able to make you do it… but I can make you wish you had. • Say it loud and with confidence and it will be believed. • A hooah and a nod can carry you a long way in life. • If everything is important – then nothing is important. • You can do twice as much…if you half-ass everything. • There is an art to knowing when to shut up. • If you can’t be on time, be early. • If you are an optimist, your life is filled with disappointment…. • If you are a pessimist, your life is filled with pleasant surprises. • R X IQ = C • Rank Times IQ is a Constant
