Executive Excellence program information
The following are a sampling of testimonials of past participants:
“As a result of this program, I have been implementing leadership strategies so my staff is more
pro-active in decision making and problem solving. This has created more independent thinking
to further our mission in excellent customer service.”
“My department benefitted from my expanded network, as they bring concerns to me and I‘m able
to get someone on the phone that can really help resolve operations problems quickly. Having a
greater knowledge of UH operations now, I’m also able to explain some of the reasons why things
happen certain ways. This increases the knowledge base of my staff.”
“I find myself being more strategic and less reactive to situations in the workplace. This more
purposeful performance of my duties has significantly increased productivity by focusing efforts
on the most valuable activities.”
“I have been able to incorporate many of the skills and principles learned in the Executive
Excellence program into my everyday dealings with those in my department as well as others
outside of my department. One specific example is the intentional recognition of the varying
personalities using the skills acquired in the program. As a result of my being purposely alert to
the personality colors, I’m able to approach or respond to those in my department in a way that
takes into account the interactions and assignments that will be most beneficial to team
members.”
Enhancing the organization collectively, individually. That is Executive Excellence.
