"Upward, and Onward!"
by D. Shane Stevens, CEO
This month, it was decided the focus of our newsletter would be about leadership. This is somewhat odd timing or perhaps perfect timing because after 14 years of leading/managing DHMS/MDS AND CDE, it’s with a heavy heart and excitement that I am resigning as CEO. At the corporate office, we’ve known for a couple of years that this time was coming so we have worked diligently to build our managers into leaders, and ensure a scalable enterprise by refining our processes and efficiencies. We have a fantastic leader in Sean Ryan, Gen. Ret. taking over operations.
My new role within the company will be focused on strategic relationships, mentoring our leadership team, ensuring alignment on company vision, focus on developing in stabilizing her start up’s, and contributing towards our continued growth. Secondly, we are in the early phases of starting a foundation which will provide healthcare and dental care to those with the greatest need. The most exciting part about this is the opportunity for me to contribute to the company in a much different way and to hone an entirely new set of skills. Many members of our leadership team attended the Global Leadership Summit in August and walked away with an amazing amount of information. Here are some of the highlights that spoke most profoundly to me.
