Executive Partner and Divisional President at Lettuce Entertain You Restaurants
“Throughout my career, I have learned that treating people right will always pay off in the end. „
EXPERIENCE
The best piece of advice I have received is, "go out of your way to surround yourself with quality people". I am always looking to spend time with highly talented people that can challenge and inspire each other.
I never try to keep things balanced, or calculate how much time I spend on one part of my life over another. If you are happy, what you are doing is working!
When hiring I covet one’s ability to change and adapt to dynamic situations. Our business environment changes relentlessly, and successful leaders can move with that change.
The ability to lead and help someone get somewhere they couldn’t get to on their own is the single most vital skill you can have as a manager.
I keep my team inspired and motivated by challenging them with goals, and being by their side while they work to accomplish these goals. Being there for each other keeps the team connected and motivated.
My rivalry with unsolved problems and undiscovered solutions is very inspirational for me. I never let a problem outsmart me or out-work me.
I couldn't do this job without the support of my family.
