Denise Smutny (Agribusiness)

Today and every day I hold myself accountable for my work and the work of my team. As a newer leader to Wilbur-Ellis there is much to learn and mistakes can be made. I believe it is critical to hold oneself accountable to be able to learn from your mistakes. Everything is fixable, maybe challenging to fix, but learning is such an important element for being accountable to yourself and others. I believe that when making decisions, make the best decision possible with the information you have and be willing to be flexible if that decision was not practical, make a new decision and move forward. Being accountable to me means taking some risks, learning and growing.
