Hall of Fame Past MOY Winners Emma Stone Sales Manager SmartSurvey — Multiplier Discipline: They’re a Talent Magnet (attracts and optimizes talent at its highest point of contribution) — Emma’s Nominator said: By the end of my first day, Emma had sussed out how I learn best and had adjusted her training methods to suit my needs. Emma inspires and empowers us to apply ourselves, ask for help, give help, dig deeper and grow both personally and professionally. She easily identified our individual and team strengths and weaknesses (as well as knowing and embracing her own) and welcomes, encourages, and asks for our input, especially in areas where our strengths compliment her weaknesses. She truly listens, and so her decisions are accepted and respected because we all know we have been heard. We understand that any decision she makes is for the good of the team and the company. She is constantly stretching us and innately knows just how far she can stretch us to keep us motivated and productive and still very much enjoying our job. Emma’s modus operandi is a shining example of managing at its best!” Greg Sears Assistant Superintendent of Teaching & Learning Forest Hills Schools — Multiplier Discipline: They’re a Liberator (creates a climate that both invites and demands people’s best thinking) — Greg’s Nominator said: Greg has led the revitalization of professional development in our school district. He takes everyone’s views and builds on that. He built this type of culture by trusting his teachers, his building administration, and his leadership team. Greg has created an environment where we, collectively, are invested in the development of our map and taking the journey together, and we are more than happy to accept that at times roads will be bumpy and we may have to off-road, but as a team with diverse skills, we can continue moving forward. We knew Greg was our north star regardless, encouraging our risk-taking and ability to see and move forward, together. We made a shift from being congenial and cooperative and learned how to use our skills to leverage the work of us all, and we became a more solid, collaborative, interdependent team. People are willing to innovate and create new opportunities, all with students being at the center of our work, and for the first time, our district has a genuine district focus where all stakeholders know it, believe it, and are excited.” Renee Williams Deputy Director Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Information Technology, ODE — Multiplier Discipline: They’re a Liberator (creates a climate that both invites and demands people’s best thinking) — Renee’s Nominator said: Renee has fostered a culture of excitement for the mission, improved employee experience, and enhanced employee engagement throughout the enterprise. She has facilitated employee engagement by supplementing and supporting strategic communications. She has planned and implemented Change Management Strategies that have resulted in leaders receiving training and support during the transformation. She has identified and promulgated best practices and increased employee engagement across the enterprise. Within the VA and OI&T, morale is low and data indicates there is an increasing issue with employee burnout and turnover. The Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FEVS) results and the All Employee Survey (AES) results both revealed issues in burnout, turnover, and overall employee satisfaction. To combat the poor survey results and organizational turmoil, Renee sought and received the Chief Information Officer’s approval to create the Office of Organization Development & Engagement (OD&E). She leveraged the diversity of existing staff to assemble a highly motivated team. She then trained the team on the fundamentals of organization development, action planning, and employee engagement with great results.” Ryan McGee Director, Production Data & Analytics Walt Disney Animation Studios — Multiplier Discipline: They’re a Liberator (creates a climate that both invites and demands people’s best thinking) — Ryan’s Nominator said: "Ryan looks beyond defined team boundaries to fuse together unique and strong bonds of team members across multiple disciplines and teams. He not only sees people for their own strengths, but also how those strengths can be best paired with the complementary strengths of other people. Ryan is a visionary. He understands his world well and knows how it can be better. He can communicate his vision well and excite those to which he speaks about it. He is naturally honest, trustworthy, and values driven. Even traditional, exclusive upper management perks aren’t his thing, and if he was ever given a dedicated parking spot, he would give it to the newest person on his team. This gesture is an example of his servant-natured leadership style. He consistently shows examples of empowering his team through idea ownership, stretching their skillset, and growing them beyond what they thought they were confident in. Ryan’s integrity, kindness, sense of humor, strategic thinking, thought-provoking ideas, and natural human connector makes him a successful leader at our studio and sets a high bar for leadership in the community.” Taryn Owen President PeopleReady — Multiplier Discipline: They’re a Liberator (creates a climate that both invites and demands people’s best...
