-: So what I like the most about my job
is the continuous improvement piece of it.
I report to a senior vice president,
and like most senior vice presidents,
they expect you to not only do your job
but constantly improve yourself, your department,
and any other ways you can improve
what we call the enterprise, the entire company.
So I really, really enjoy seeing an opportunity
to make an improvement, whether it's my department
or a peer's or whatever,
and working with them to make our processes
or our product or something better
so that way the entire company benefits from it.
So, seeing the fruits of the labor,
seeing, you know, we had this process,
even if it wasn't broken, we made it better.
And now we're functioning as a better, as a group.
I really enjoy continually improving.
Some of the bigger challenges are
the continuous improvement.
It's the same thing, right?
A lot of times when you want to improve something,
you have opposition.
People are skeptical.
They're not sure if it will work.
So part of it is implementing the change.
And along with implementing the change
is convincing your peers and your coworkers
that this change is beneficial.
We need to do it.
And then, you know, actually driving that change
and sustaining the change.
So a lot of times you can make the change
but if it's not sustainable where the,
you know, the groups go back to their old ways,
then you really didn't make a change.
It was just a blip of improvement.
So, sustaining that change is what's difficult, yeah.
