Leadership is about motivating others to move towards a common goal .
Personal Matters :
What ’ s your favorite business podcast ? I frequently listen to the Business Wars podcast . It ’ s fascinating to learn about the history of some of the world ’ s most well-known companies and their challenges as they built their businesses from the earliest days into what we now know of them .
If you weren ’ t on your current career path , what would you be doing ? I ’ ve always enjoyed working in and around state government , so I ’ m fortunate that I ’ m doing exactly what I ’ ve always wanted to do in my career . However , if I wasn ’ t where I am today , I think I ’ d enjoy working in the front office of a professional sports team in the NFL or MLB .
If you could have dinner with anyone , dead or alive , who would it be ? I would enjoy sitting down with one of my long-lost relatives , William Barganier . He and his family decided to leave France in the early 1700s for the American colonies prior to the founding of our country . I would be interested in the stories of their journey and what led them to leave their home for another life so far away .
What do you do when you ’ re not at work ? I spend as much time with my family as I possibly can . I have been blessed to be able to coach both of my boys in various sports . I ’ ve always preferred to be outside playing golf or tennis , doing yard work or traveling with my wife .
