She creates an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued, and she actively listens to ideas and feedback.
Arika is a wonderful leader. She leads by example and holds herself to the same high standards she sets for our team. During times of difficulty, she takes responsibility and encourages transparency, fostering a culture of trust. She is present both physically and emotionally for ALL who report to her. She ensures that everyone is heard and recognized for their contributions to her team. She genuinely cares about each team member's well-being, regularly checking in and offering support when needed. She creates an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued, and she actively listens to ideas and feedback. She is humble and poised. She encourages personal and professional development by providing resources and opportunities to those within her team. She motivates those who report to her by providing constructive feedback and celebrating wins. She pushes those around her to go outside of their comfort zone (I being one of the many), which has led to blessings beyond measure for OhioHealth.
