In terms of management style, I mentioned earlier a couple of matters.
One is that I think I'm definitely a conscientious manager who tries to attract good people around to work on files and to keep them there, making an environment that is attractive for those people to work in. I think I'm a relatively easy person to work with. I may be demanding at times, in terms of the analysis that I demand from people, but they understand where I'm coming from.
I think I've always been able to build a good team around me. I've been fortunate to have good issues to work on, but I feel that as a good manager of people, I can get things done, I can stay focused. I'm an organized person, and I think that contributes to a good workplace.
I think I'm a leader of people as well. I can demonstrate through my actions a commitment to providing solid public policy advice for which we can all hold our heads high and feel that we've done the right thing, being proud of what we do and of having acted with integrity. I try to lead in that way and make sure that I demonstrate to the people who work for me that we need to carry ourselves in a totally professional manner; we need to show respect to the people we work with and the people we interact with, whether in consultation with outside groups or what have you.
Those are the key things.
And I think I'm a good listener. We talked earlier about listening to other people from other disciplines. I like to think I'm a very good team manager, in a sense: I'll listen to what everybody has to say. At the end of the day we have to make decisions, and not everybody can agree, but I like to hear all the perspectives on an issue before I think about what my advice would be going forward.
