Facility Managers/Supervisors

Did you ever wonder how this “MWR” “NGIS” thing really works?

Who is responsible for everything? Who is held accountable? Who can recommend changes? Who is suppose to learn all this stuff? Who teaches the other folks that work under me?

Easy……. The answer is YOU! Look in the mirror; YOU make the difference no matter what position you hold.

Look at it this way…..

If you are a Facility Manager, you should run your facility as if it were your own business
