““A leader. . .is like a shepherd. He stays behind the flock, letting the most nimble go out ahead, whereupon the others follow, not realizing that all along they are being directed from behind.” ― Nelson Mandela Eric has been my manager for the last 15 months and i am truly blessed to have a leader like him in my journey. He is a strong people champion who is equally business focused and truly enables creating a successful organization for all associates. Eric hired me in my role at Cepheid and from Day 1 what stood out about Eric’s leadership is his deeply caring and nurturing style. He is always patient with his team and allows us to make mistakes in a psychologically safe environment and uses his very effective coaching to help us learn from these experiences. Eric also does not hesitate to give tough feedback when it is required in the interest of his team’s development. Another aspect that is equally inspiring to me about Eric, is his strong commitment to provide a level playing field to all associates in the organization irrespective of their race, religion , ethnicity or any other identity. He always champion a truly inclusive work culture which paves the way for celebrating diversity in the organization. Eric truly embodies the inspiring thought shared by Late Nelson Mandela which i used at the start of this note. He prefers to let his team take centerstage and never misses a chance to shine the spotlight on his team on important platforms. i have truly enjoyed working with Eric and learnt so much over the last 15 months. i am grateful for Eric’s leadership and support to me and hope to continue learning from Eric in days to come and wish the very best for Eric & family always.”
