Working with people from all levels, problem solving and unity. Development of a new culture.

My greatest ability is people management, recruitment, onboarding etc . I was able to establish a new Company culture which resulted in the employees resigning from the unions, and ring-fenced company from the outside world and all worked together as one team in the best interest of the Company and therefore the total compliment together. I enjoy an outstanding rapport with all co-workers and seen as a friend and father figure. Replaced the Shop Steward meetings with my own form of collective communication which involved all. Challenged to encourage staff and Management to change their attitude of a Them and Us to a we together. Loved doing it and it is my legacy.

Pros: I am a fit active, healthy person who has years to impart my knowledge to the next generation.
Cons: I work a 12 hour day
