"My first supervisor had a reputation for being no-nonsense, so I was a bit intimidated to be assigned to her department. I soon found that although she had high expectations of her team members, she had equally high expectations of herself. She always demonstrated integrity and honesty. I learned a lot from her about how to supervise and motivate a team and how to convey professionalism at all times. I aspire to apply these principles as a manager in the near future."
