Michael Enloe works for the Tri-County Metropolitan Transportation District of Oregon (TriMet) within the Capital Projects division. He is responsible for project management activities for design and construction projects and programs. An accomplishment of which you are most proud? ­? Being a member of a design team for a large transportation infrastructure project. The project spanned approximately 4-5 miles of freeway improvements, five new bridges, and two interchange improvements and multiple city/county street improvements. The design of the project was 5+ years and the first part of my career. It wasn?t your typical freeway interchange improvement project that improved capacity; it was a project that built safe routes to emergency services. The area commonly floods almost on a yearly basis which blocks safe routes to the hospital and safe routes out of town. This project helped provide roadway during weather disasters. I am proud to be a part of this project because I feel it was a huge benefit to the local community in many ways. What, in your opinion, makes a good leader? ­?Good leaders are those who know that to be successful they must promote and help others around them be successful. All too often we view ?good leaders? as the individuals who are always leading, those who demand or think they are entitled to that leadership role; quite the contrary. A good leader is one that believes they are not entitled to or always grasps for that leading role (a good leader doesn?t presume that it?s their job to take charge every time there is a gathering of people). Good leaders take the role that is required to make their team or the situation a successful one. A good leader leads by example. They change people and influence them to become the best versions of themselves.
