    Show visible and decisive leadership

    Dennis Kaysen"For me visible leadership means being available whenever a team member needs to spar on a specific project or deliverable. I will always find some time for a ‘walk and talk’ or a cup of coffee. I show decisiveness in my leadership when I am asked to help make a decision on a particular matter. I prefer to let my team members make their own decisions or at least make a recommendation. However, if they are not able to, then I will make the needed decision with speed and conviction."
