What do you wish someone had told you when you started your career?

You can’t do everything on your own. Surround yourself with knowledgeable people you can trust. Support and trust your leadership team to make decisions for carrying out the organization’s mission and purpose. It takes a team of dedicated and committed leaders working together for an organization of our size to be successful.

What separates a good CEO from a great one?

The willingness to allow others to freely express themselves without imposing your authority on their thoughts and ideas. When you recognize good leadership talent, respect their contribution to the success of the organization, and give them additional responsibilities and the opportunity to grow their leadership skills.

What sets your business apart?
