Paul Cronin reposted thisPaul Cronin reposted this🌟 Integrity: The Cornerstone of Leadership 🌟 George Washington's words echo across centuries, emphasizing the timeless importance of integrity in leadership. "I hope I shall possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man." In today's complex and fast-paced world, where accolades and achievements often measure success, Washington's emphasis on character resonates more profoundly than ever. Intentional leadership isn't just about attaining power or recognition; it's about upholding principles of honesty, integrity, and moral courage. As professionals, let's aspire to embody the character of an honest person in all aspects of our lives. Let's prioritize ethical conduct, transparency, and accountability, recognizing that these qualities define our personal reputation and shape the culture of our organizations and communities. In pursuing our goals and ambitions, let's never compromise our values. Let's cultivate a reputation for trustworthiness and reliability, knowing that, in the long run, our integrity sets us apart and earns us the respect and admiration of others. May we all strive to uphold the noble title of an honest person, just as George Washington envisioned, and may it serve as a guiding light in our journey toward meaningful success. 🌟 Diana Hebert(Sinina) Erica Davies Garry Foisy Dave Ramsden Dirigo Brian Fortin Jason Albuquerque Joe Devine Kathleen Malin Claudia Cardozo Debra (Deb) Honor Ryan Clark Mark Correia April Williams Ken Norberg Lisa Bergeron Phil Nelson Nelson Gomes Tony Niemotka Todd Cronin Todd Knapp Henry Silva, CPA Oscar Mejias Scott Thurber Raju Chekuri Jayesh Barai Justin Crotty Todd Pittman #Integrity #Leadership #IntentionalLeadership #TheIntentionalLeader #Ethics #Honorable #Honor #GeorgeWashington #Inspiration

Paul Cronin shared thisAt Apogee we work closely with neighboring universities and institutions to provide professional experience in the workplace. Being a citizen in a community means more than standing by. It means helping others. One way that we do this is spending time helping students become our future leaders by preparing them for the workforce. Apogee is committed to positively impacting the lives of others. Our one-semester internship program will help students get to know our business and culture as they expand their knowledge, improve key skills and grow professionally. Know someone who is looking for an internship? Contact us today.

Paul Cronin shared thisIn order for Apogee IT Services to deliver the ultimate client experience to our customers, we must deliver the same experience to our employees. Recognizing a need for appreciation, Apogee rolled out The Employee Recognition Program. The Employee Recognition Program allows all Apogee employees to show recognition and appreciation for their fellow coworkers through a nomination. We want to catch people doing the incredible things for our team and clients. Since implementing this program, we have received extreme appreciation and excitement towards The Employee Recognition Program. At Apogee we take pride in our employees and find it important to acknowledge their hard work as often as we can.

Paul Cronin shared thisAt Apogee IT Services we are committed to our team members both in their professional lives as well as their personal lives. We strive to provide a holistic learning experience as often as we can. Apogee IT Services recently rolled out an exciting and voluntary initiative for our employees to participate in. As a part of our larger growth and development program, we felt this is an important addition to providing a deeper learning experience. Our E-Learning program is comprised of short training sessions. These sessions include creating a positive work/ life balance, family budgeting, time management, managing stress etc. The importance of us working with our people to educate them on other life insights besides just their core educational requirements for their role is crucial in providing a healthy work life balance for all of our employees. A commitment to lifelong learning is the key to career success.

Paul Cronin liked thisPaul Cronin liked thisHeading to Channel Partners in Vegas. The closer we get to the MTMG Partner Patio, the more I appreciate the decision to keep it focused. A smaller gathering means people can actually settle in. They can finish a thought, make a real introduction, and leave feeling like the time was well spent. That does not happen by accident. It usually comes from being intentional about the experience. That is what we are aiming for here. Spots are limited, by design, and I think that will make the event better for everyone who joins us. If you are interested in attending DM me for the registration link. #MTMG #ChannelPartners #CommunityFirst #PartnerEcosystem #LasVegas

Paul Cronin liked thisPaul Cronin liked thisThere are moments in life where pride doesn’t quite feel like a big enough word. Today is one of those moments. Watching Kim be recognized as a PBN Rising Star in the C-Suite was incredible, not just because of the title, but because of everything it represents. The long hours, the tough decisions, the integrity, the leadership, and the commitment to doing things the right way, even when it’s not the easy way. I get to see the work behind the scenes, the dedication, the passion, and the constant drive to grow and lead with purpose. This recognition is so well deserved. Proud doesn’t even begin to cover it. ❤️ Congratulations, I’m lucky to be alongside you for this journey.

Paul Cronin liked thisPaul Cronin liked thisAfter 17+ extraordinary years at CompTIA, I have reached the point in the journey where it is time to say a bittersweet goodbye. It has been an honor and privilege working in the tech space for so long and with so many passionate colleagues committed to making a difference. You will be missed. A heartfelt note of thanks to CompTIA president and CEO, Todd Thibodeaux. Impossible to put into words the impact he had on me professionally, personally and the industry at large. A true giant among giants. I’m not sure what the next chapter holds, time will tell. Stay in touch. All the best. Tim

See publicationIt was at this conference that I locked horns with some cloud application providers, distribution and other solution providers over a question that I asked.

The Power of Why
SDM
See publicationI've read articles referencing the way that children ask "why?" and why fearless questioning is a valuable business strategy before; but usually the author fails to fully connect the dots. You've given clear, concrete applications here and I know SDM readers will appreciate that.
