>> My name's Jameel Rush. I am the director of organizational development for Day and Zimmerman. So it varies greatly on a day-to-day. I have a few responsibility that are under my scope. So I own performance management. So the performance management process for our organization, I do leadership development programs, which means I get to talk to managers about how they can better manage and lead their employees. I own our mentoring program. So we have an internal mentoring program that helps to talk to professions about how they can be better and connect them with senior leaders. And then I also support two of our businesses, so our engineering construction and maintenance business and our munitions manufacturing business with all of their talent management and talent development needs. One of the things that I'll be doing in a couple of weeks is what we call our front-line leader program. So it's actually a three-day workshop for high-potential managers, meaning managers who are doing a really good job -- we see them progressing to doing more in the coming years. And we're going to sit down with them for an intensive workshop that just talks about all aspects of leading, so everything from coaching employees to things like Myers-Briggs and MBTI with behavioral styles and types, to conflict management, diversity. All these things that come up as being a leader we'll go through and do that workshop or seminar with them.
