Hobbies & Interests
I will always make sure that my purpose is the guiding light in all I do. That purpose is to improve the lives of others. As a company our purpose is make sure people’s dreams continue when things go bad. That statement makes us a big deal and I truly believe that. As a leader I will make sure that statement is clearly represented in my communications and actions. My authenticity will come directly from believing in what I do and what I say. My fulfillment will stem from inspiring others to develop their purpose and act upon those beliefs. As a part of American Family I will make sure to be conscious of my changing role. There will be times when I need to lead from the front. There will be times when I need to follow from the rear. There will be times when I need to get out of the way. When in the role of leader, I will be prepared to take risks, appreciate and draw out ideas, and be accountable for failures of myself and my team. I will never let fear paralyze myself or my team from action. Rather I will empower my team to push forward and I will back them up. My team and I will follow three simple rules: 1. Do the right things all of the time. 2. Never be indifferent 3. Show people you truly care The above statements will become part of the culture I create. I truly feel that if I do a good job of helping others believe in why we do what we do, then my teams will develop from the bottom up. When that happens, I become a leader of leaders rather than a leader of followers. In my mind that is the definition of a good leader.
