In my 8+ years of working with Josh, he developed a reputation as the problem-solving Team Leader in our store and our district. Have a logistically complicated event like Target's Back-to-College events to pull off? Put Josh on it. Want to encourage your team to improve guest service while driving brand at every level? Josh is the guy. Some kind of error in the system causing headaches for the whole store? Josh has a solution. I have worked with many Team Leaders and Executives in my time with Target, and few have had the ability to keep things running smoothly, improve processes, and maintain great relations with their team at the level that Josh consistently does.
