MORNÉ BARNARD

Focused, hardworking, highly motivated and competitive - that's how you could sum up my personality. My ambition drives me to develop a deep passion for acquiring new skills and knowledge.

I firmly believe that proper planning prevents poor performance, and this is reflected in both my personal and professional life.

Working in a fast-paced environment allows me to demonstrate my confidence and strategic skills.

Problems are not stop signs, but guidance, and this mindset allows me to thrive in challenging situations and manage chaos.

As a manager I believe that leadership contains certain elements of good management, but it requires that you inspire and build durable trust. For an organisation to be not just good but to win, leadership means evoking participation larger than the job description, commitment deeper than any job contract's wording. Pleasure in the job and work environment puts perfection in the work, that is why leadership and teamwork are so important to me.

My hobbies include appreciating koi fish and their splendor, aquaponics, cryptocurrencies and it's mysteries as well as working in a few minutes of gaming here and there. I believe I would excel in any work environment, not because of my skills, knowledge, or hard work, but just the mere fact that I bring cake on my birthday.
