Janet Tiemeyer MSN, RN, CMQ-OE
Michael is a very upbeat and positive person. During my time at GSS, Michael always exhibited the utmost professionalism. He's an exceptional leader who listens to his team, utilizes data to make decisions, and leads through example. He treats his residents and their families with respect and dignity and expects the same from all his employees and team members. Michael is skilled at recognizing when to engage other team members to ensure the right people are at the table. He utilizes and relies on his consultant team to assist whenever needed. He never promises to have all the answers, but would say, "I know who to call". Due to his professionalism, kindness, leadership, and humility; I'd highly recommend Michael for any leadership position.
