• I would never require someone to do something that I wouldn't do myself.
• My colleagues would say that they know what I stand for.• Inspiring others has always come easy to me.• My colleagues have told me that my enthusiasm and positive
energy are infectious.• My colleagues would say that I am very attentive to their
needs and concerns.• Even though I could easily do a task myself, I delegate it to
expand my colleagues skills.• Innovation and creativity are the keys to success.• I encourage my colleagues to question their most basic way
of thinking.

nowhere fast• Everyone heading
in different directions
