About Melissa Hardy
From my profile, you will discover that I am an effective communicator; fostering change and innovation, aimed toward crisp execution, maximized efficiency and regulatory compliance. I have successfully reorganized process flows, automated manual processes and collaborated with independent governance testers to draft guides and create workflows that align with federal regulations. My creation of internal controls, while self-reliantly measuring and monitoring data, ends with direct communication to stakeholders to expose risks and offer resolution. While some of my power skills derive from education and experience, others come from my personal values. To highlight some of these values, I- Treat others in the same way I would want to be treated if the roles were reversed- Start with why, because if I don’t understand why, how can I explain to anyone else- Listen to understand, in the same way I want to be understood- Deliberately build relationships to create an inclusive/safe collaborative environment and avoid disconnection - Keep people in my corner that may not always be “yes” people, and won’t tell me what I want to hear. Transparency and honesty are vital to success for allUsing my values, in conjunction with my power skills, I create environments, in which teammates are confident, productive and empowered. This type of environment fosters a collaborative leadership approach that is essential for career development and retaining top talent. If you agree with my vision of success feel free to reach out for further discussion.
