"When I look back upon my career to this point and the feedback I've received from colleagues and leaders of mine, I would consider myself a servant leader who always seeks to put the needs and development of staff as a priority and believes in acting as a form of leadership. With new staff on my team that I've mentored over the years, I believe in a hands-on training approach and letting people get their feet wet and even make a few mistakes along the way to learn. My approachable and calm demeanor will not only benefit the UnitedHealth Group members I will be working with, but will also have a profound impact on this great team I will be joining. I have no doubt that your staff will quickly gravitate towards my style of working, having fun, and doing better for just a small sliver of UHG's membership base."
