Objective

The objectives that I have as a manager are to construct a team based work environment that

trusts and respects me. I plan to accomplish this by respecting all employees and staff as well as treating

them fairly. I am a very conscious person when it comes to safety. I want everyone to go home the way

they came to work for me every day. Quality and productivity are the key elements to success in any

industry. In order to compete in any industry you must constantly continue to improve. I make this a focus

point for all of my employees. With these focus points it is possible to make it through the mistakes and

shortfalls to make the company and all of the employees safe, knowledgeable and successful.
