Best Practice: Gibaud would be the first person to describe herself as incredibly organized. Others would describe her as the glue that holds Templeton Building together. As the office manager for this busy Michigan remodeling firm, being organized is essential, but Gibaud takes organization to new heights. In addition to acting as HR manager, she ensures smooth customer relations, assists clients with selections, and is involved with scheduling and bidding. But Gibaud doesn’t just confine her organizational skills to her own job responsibilities, she also plays a key role in helping her colleagues stay on-task and realize their potential. Her secret: Taking advantage of DISC personality profiling results to better understand Templeton staff and to find ways to assist them in boosting their efficiency. This enhances productivity and helps employees achieve their goals.
