WREC Year End Report

WREC DIRECTOR ASSESSMENT
01. PROVIDES STRAIGHT TALK: 4.6
• The most distinguishing trait about Curtis is this area. It is greatly
appreciated and builds trust. I am more likely to complete a
task and do so in the manner expected of me.
• Gives clear expectations and deadlines.
• Provides feedback that helps improve my performance.
• I appreciate that Curtis keep us in the loop about all things
pertaining to the WREC. It allows us to be proactive if needed
and sometimes just gives us time to accept decisions/procedures
that we don't necessarily think may be in our best interest.
Curtis gives us background and rationale, which is always
useful.
• Yes — one of Curtis's strengths.
• As straight as it can come.
02. DEMONSTRATES RESPECT: 4.3
• Discussions always involve how to best serve students and employees
— I remember discussion whether or not to inform a
student, who had fallen unconsciously, that their account is to
be suspended pending a doctor's note. Curtis was adamant
about waiting a day or two because the student had already
gone through a difficult time. This shows compassion, empathy,
and respect.
• I often hear Curtis speak on behalf of student groups that often
get marginalized by society and how we can create a center
that incorporates them in our planning.
• By seeking input from all areas
• We have a small, but tight-knit staff and much of "can-do"
attitude comes from the respect and expectation Curtis puts
out to us. I think he knows he couldn't do it without us and I
appreciate that respect.
03. CREATES TRANSPARENCY: 4.6
• This is a big trait for Curtis and it is evident in his work style —
I never have any uncertainty or doubts on where he stands on
issues and policies.
• As part of the "core team" I feel that I have the information
and background I need to do my job. I don't feel like Curtis
tries to hide or hold back information.
04. SHOWS DECISIVENESS: 4
• This is a trait that I know Curtis values very much. It goes hand
in hand with his goal to do things efficiently. He is timely in
making decisions that have the best possible outcome.
• Curtis is intentional in allowing others the time and space to
arrive at their own conclusions. His questions of inquiry allow
others to evaluate and aspire for better things.
• Confident in decision making but makes sure employees feel
opinions are valued when applicable.
• However, still willing to change perspective when presented
with compelling information.
• This is a difficult one in the environment/framework we often
work within. I feel Curtis knows the path he wants to follow,
but sometimes it gets taken on a detour. I think he has learned
quickly how to maneuver his way through it all.
• A nice balance of making decisions while also taking input
from"the team".
05. RIGHTS WRONGS: 4.3
• Being a straight-talker and very decisive can sometimes cause
Curtis to step on people's toes. People can sometimes take
