"I enjoy the creative process, especially when working as part of a team. I find that some of the best work isn't designed; it's re-designed, after feedback, and sometimes a bit of a pain. When people come together on a project in a positive way, I find I can make an effective contribution. That is most satisfying."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I would recommend leadership training but with the ego's that would have to be tempered, it would only work for a small number of them."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Treat your employees as if they knew what they were doing. Because they do. You hired them, now let them do their jobs."
