Leadership Philosophy Joan Byrne Director of Recreation, Parks and Arts

I think that leadership is a privilege. It is a privilege that is responsible for motivating others to guide our organization's vision and goals and leading them.

As individuals show interest in them, they will appreciate their achievements, their professional development. To that end, I

Granting authority to make decisions to others is important for building leaders of future organizations. I will leave myself alone to decide what I really want. I do not ask anyone to make decisions that go beyond their ability level, not fit for them. I will never micro-manage after delegating the task, but I will trust and validate it. I will provide guidance and support. I criticize the decision of the committee, but I will not criticize it

My behavior is better than my words. I believe in taking leadership as an example. I welcome opportunities to work with my employees.

To others. Criticism promotes fear and praise promotes commitment to achievement. All success has room for improvement. Try not to mix

I believe that the most important task of leadership is to demonstrate leadership and pride at every level of the organization. I believe that everyone in the department takes pride in their work and understands how their work contributes to the entire department and can demonstrate some degree of leadership.
