WORK COMPETENCIES Leadership Throughout my career I have been privileged to exercise leadership of multi-skilled teams across a range of business functions. My role as a leader encompassed responsibility for the performance, development and administration of diverse teams, and involved working under pressure to meet deadlines in challenging circumstances. Teamwork & Interpersonal In all appointments, I have been required to act as both leader and team member. These experiences have deepened my awareness of group dynamics and methods of dealing with conflict. The ability to work both as a member of a team and autonomously is essential in an organisation with many semi-independent and inter-dependent units, particularly within Defence. I have managed teams as large ix hundred and mall as 5 members and have always enjoyed a good rapport with them, both personally and professionally. 2
