“Greg’s authentic leadership was evident early in his arrival to Cleveland. He sought direct one-on-one feedback from all levels of his team and used that information in discussions with me as Council Commissioner in determining how to strengthen not only his team but also volunteer-professional interaction. He listened. He understood. He created strategies. He created feed-back.
In another case, Greg worked with one of his direct reports to take charge of key volunteer selection decisions because as Greg coached, ‘it’s important you choose a person you can work with as an equal team member. The Council Commissioner and I can’t do that for you.’”
