My best atributes

I consider myself an interactive leader. I make sure that make time to walk the floor daily and make personal contact with my management team and their teams. I care about people's well being and I enjoy my individual engagement with my staff and colleagues in order to build positive relationships. I am objective when I give feedback and ensure that people take responsibility for their actions by helping them to operate in their areas of strengths and identify their weaknesses so that they can have a developmental plan. i am a perfectionist and that is seen as a challenge by my team because I always want their task and output to be 100% and nothing less. I like having to find solutions to challenging situations and then implementing those solutions into daily operational processes. I enjoy the adrenalin that comes with the volatility of claims departments and work force management.

Pros: Positive relations with colleagues impacts on work ethics and values like service, integrity.
Cons: Work life balance

Excellent learning curve

There are opportunities for growth, however they are not available to everyone equally. Promotionis dependent on association, not on hard work. There are senior executives who bully employees and it has become the culture in the business

Pros: Opportunity for growth

Work life

My typical work day is 9 hours sometimes more depending on the projects/ audits underway. I enjoy working with people, sharing knowledge especially during the audits. I have a good relationship with all employees subordinates, peers and executives.

In my position as Technical Underwriter my work days varied, sometimes I use to work out of office for approximately 3 months. Sometimes work from home, other days I was expected to work after hours. Above working conditions differed from position to position There are normal working hours as well. Relationship building was crucial since l dealt with different departments, therefore it was important to maintain good working relationship with various departments. Time management was crucial especially when it comes to projects and reporting. I enjoyed working and meeting different stakeholders

Pros: There are quite a number of opportunities with regard to promotion depending on employee attitude.
Cons: Long working hours was not an issue to many. Employees even worked weekends.
