Quotes

“We can be, as an FM organization, really state-of-the-art in the way that we operate and lead even though we’re supporting and maybe not in main functions of sales and things like that.  We certainly can grow to become significant leaders.”  (9:01)

“I think it’s our responsibility as leaders to develop leadership in all the individuals that we have the responsibility to help.”  (21:48)

“I very much believe in Hersey and Blanchard’s vision of situational leadership - that you need to look at the follower in order to determine how best to lead that follower.  And that it changes, and it’ll change through their career, how they’re led.”  (27:12)
