Strategized to leverage my tenor with the senior staff and existing network of influencers beyond top department heads. Focus on diverting the negativity, and to position for an inter-departmental Initiative that might lead to a department transition. Develop strategies that actively develop a shift in overall culture from within and permeate outside of the agency a new look of full cooperation from HHA.

Diffuse many of the obstacles by transforming the top leaders perceptions of any direct threat and I am here as a resource. Enlist the Personal Capacities of each member as this is their company as well and push this down to all employees, empowering each of them. In order to advance the HHA housing stock and upgrade the existing inventory a plan requires a commitment of leadership at multiple levels – City of Houston, Harris County, HUD, Tx DOT, HHA and community leaders.

Our program also includes reaching out and communicating with all our residence by scheduling weekly meetings with the CEO in an informal setting listening to their needs, in turn making changes to improve their quality of life. We are also opening communication with internal employees having round table discussions one-on-one.
