"I am an influencer, a transformational leader, who is somewhat democratic. I love coaching and mentoring. I am a strong communicator and a great delegator. I feel confident in my communication skills and this enables me to trust my team to get the work done. I dedicate equal attention to everyone, the rock stars, and slower producers. I favor both the tortoise and the hare. I am good at keeping a balance between being a mentor and a respected leader. I am the type of leader who my team trusts and looks forward to working with."

Heineken states that they aspire for all of their people, whom they refer to as pioneers, to be leaders, and they define a leader as someone who acts as a role model while connecting, delivering, shaping, and developing their teams. "We consider all of our pioneers to be leaders. The way our employees lead is what sets us apart. They are able to connect with anyone around them and continuously invest in developing others. They shape the future, but at the same time deliver great results day-to-day. And very importantly, they always walk the talk; being a true role model for our company values. Do you have what it takes to be an effective leader at Heineken?"
