UITA Hall of Fame Dinner
Last Friday, I had the opportunity to attend the annual UITA Hall of Fame dinner event at the downtown SLC Marriott (Thanks David Bradford!) I was impressed by the attendance of many business professionals throughout the state including Senator Orrin Hatch and HP’s CEO Mark Hurd.
I was very impressed with Mark Hurd’s knowledge and leadership. He shared his personal management style with the group and I especially enjoyed this quote on leadership (as shared in the a press release): “In my opinion, the secret to success is to focus a company and provide its people with a clear mission and clear expectations. Make sure they have the right resources, and then get out of their way.”
“It’s not just the clarity of the message,” Hurd added, “But it’s also the frequency of the message that’s key. Having everyone on the same page, understanding their role, and knowing how they’ll be measured and how they’ll be rewarded is critical.”
