I had the privilege of working with Bryan Jones at the City of Fremont. As our Public Works Director, Bryan was in charge of Maintenance, Engineering, Traffic Engineering, and Real Properties. While his strong leadership and outside-the-box problem-solving skills were fresh and exciting to the organization, what I valued most about Bryan was his ability to connect to staff at all the levels of the organization. With his keen sense of recognition for people’s strengths and his interpersonal skills, he inspired and motivated staff. He often praised and shared with the entire department the hard work and achievements staff did with his weekly recaps. These recaps became a vessel for which each of us recognized one another for the work that was accomplished, thus breaking barriers and walls around the office. It was Bryan’s way of raising everyone’s potential and appreciating each other in the process. Any organization will be lucky to have Bryan Jones as their leader. There is no doubt that he will be successful in creating opportunities where challenges exist.
