ExecutiveBiz talked with L-3 (NYSE: LLL) executive Joanne Newman about leadership and success in business:
“Commitment to team. It’s something Newman fosters through a sense of ownership, based upon incremental steps.
“’As people begin to get more involved, and have a little more confidence, we put them out in front of both internal and external customers, ‘ said Newman. Case in point: Junior-level managers routinely get the chance to operate on the front lines with program managers.”
“’That sends a positive message, ” said Newman, “that management is committed to developing career paths for the folks in our company.’”
