Ashley’s Leadership Philosophy

• • • • • • • • • • • • • Attitude is EVERYTHING. I believe in a HOOAH can-do attitude!

My job is to take care of you, mentor and nurture you, provide the resources needed, stay out of your way, and grow the next generation of leaders You watch my 6 and I watch yours We will have fun One team-One Fight I will always trust you…until you prove yourself untrustworthy I like to get out from behind my desk and walk around I like to talk to people, get out of the office & avoid unnecessary meetings I hold everyone accountable for their duties and responsibilities Recognition (formal and informal) is vital – never met an award category I didn’t like if we have deserving nominees We will work reasonable hours and make time for our families - your families are important to me and you Make sure you run out of career before you run out of family Personal (haircuts, uniforms) and workcenter appearances are very important

Ashley-isms

• • • • • • • • • • • • The key to happiness is low standards.

Face it…by definition – half of us are below average.

I might not be able to make you do it… but I can make you wish you had. Say it loud and with confidence and it will be believed. A hooah and a nod can carry you a long way in life. If everything is important – then nothing is important. You can do twice as much…if you half-ass everything. There is an art to knowing when to shut up. If you can’t be on time, be early.

If you are an optimist, your life is filled with disappointment….

If you are a pessimist, your life is filled with pleasant surprises.
