Career category: Business/Sales
A little bit about Jené: I graduated from ASU with a Bachelors Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with concentrations in Business and Organizational Leadership. I have worked in Human Resources for over 11 years in government contracting.
Start of Program: Fall 2018
What is your leadership/management style? My highest priority in my position is mentoring and developing my staff. If my staff are able to get to a point where they no longer need me then I feel I have done my job. I enjoy finding out what motivates the team and helping them grow in their career paths. I think that I am open to feedback and criticism, or suggestions for improvement. I will always back up my team and will take the hit if there is an issue.
What do you think you need to improve on? I could improve on timeliness of deliverable completion, we always seem to be running right up against deadlines. The issue now is just the volume of work that is coming at us. We are in constant growth right now and we have to keep up.
Aspirations and goals: Well, my number one goal is to finish the MALM program. That is coming before extra hours at work or personal aspirations. I don't have a strong desire for further promotions, I would like to continue to grow my team and expand in the number of staff that report to me as well as sites. I currently have 7 reports and 2 locations. My personal aspirations list is much longer, from improving my fitness, to moving out of State to buy a house, to reading more of the books on my list. I am currently finishing 1984 by George Orwell.
