“Doug has been not only my manager but also a friend and trusted advisor for the past three years and is a daily example of how to drive results and lead with an exceptionally high EQ. In my professional journey, Doug stands out as one of the most compassionate individuals I've had the pleasure of working with. His approachability makes him not only a respected leader but also a mentor to those he leads. He has a remarkable ability to remain calm under pressure and navigate challenges with exceptional poise and grace. Where others would complain and groan, he pushes forward, demonstrating rock-solid adaptability and mental fortitude. In our time working together, I have always felt I was on a winning team. Not just because we regularly exceeded expectations and had record-breaking sales years, but because his mentorship has truly been invaluable. As a manager, he is incredibly thoughtful when providing feedback, has been passionately dedicated to nurturing my skills and talents and has been genuinely committed to my growth. He actively seeks out opportunities to commend my achievements, and equally important, he doesn’t shy away from providing critical feedback, ensuring that I am continuously evolving and improving. He has exemplified his mantra, "mean what you say; don't be mean when you say it." This philosophy not only reflects his values but also serves as a guiding principle in his internal and external interactions. Under his mentorship, I have learned valuable lessons in managing relationships, especially in challenging situations, such as delivering difficult news to partners or addressing performance concerns. By following Doug's example, I can genuinely say that I have grown as a manager, leader, and teammate. I am grateful for the impact he has had on my professional development and for all I have learned under his leadership.”
