== L1 Technical Leadership ==
The core duties of a coordinator are to get the work done through process management, which means they have an input and an output and they have to ensure the effective execution of these processes. They are in contact with customers, suppliers, and employees of all levels; therefore, they need to navigate frequently between different audiences to set-up the right context.
 
Our Coordinators are required to deliver fast results. These leaders are primarily focused on performance. They often set high standards and hold their team members accountable for hitting their goals.
 
The fast-paced work environment fostered by the coordinators can also create miscommunications, so in order to ensure effectiveness, they have to be able to provide clear instructions and have an outstanding ability to manage adversities, chaos, and change.

The managers are responsible for the performance of their teams. They are involved in strategic decisions and are required to anticipate technical issues and complex and ambiguous problems or opportunities that are often systemic with no readily understood answers. They are responsible for identifying these situations in their teams, requiring a change of mindset or attitude, and providing the right corporate context.
 
They are quickly to recognize their team members’ strengths, weaknesses, and motivations to help each individual improve. They assist team members in setting smart goals, ensure quality and efficiency through processes management and provide regular feedback with challenging initiatives to promote growth. They’re skilled in setting clear expectations and creating a positive, motivating environment.
 
Managers promote the development of new skills, innovation, free-thinking and empowerment while building high-performing teams.

Our Heads of Departments are responsible for setting strategic direction, developing context, and fostering our corporate culture on an organizational level. They focus on clear communication, goal-setting, and the company’s productivity.
 
Instead of placing the majority of the energy into each employee’s individual aspects, they are driven by a commitment to organizational objectives. However, they are also committed to developing the next generation of Secure Group leaders and build a strong relationship with our shareholders. The "Heads of" also value the company's ethics and teams while focusing on high-performance in the long-term.
