COVER STORY
Aviation West was purchased. He says Joe
McConnell was instrumental in teaching various aspects of overseeing a station.
"He kind of brought me up that next step,"
Perry says of McConnell. "He moved me down
to Phoenix where he was actually based and I
spent four years with him. It was financing and
refining some of our planning tools."
Perry adds that McConnell really hammered
home the importance of planning and helped
Perry shape the way he formulates a plan.
"I always say I see things in color. But I do
like numbers, so black-and-white is good. But
numbers don't always tell the whole story,"
Perry notes.
Guidance for the Next
Leaders
The aviation industry is never boring to Perry.
There are new challenges every day, and those
challenges require strong leadership.
Perry is currently leading his team through
the COVID-19 pandemic and it is unknown
what the next day holds. So, he places an
importance on forecasting, leadership skills
and staff development.
"If I can equip my staff with those tools, I
know they can face any challenge," Perry says.
"The most challenging thing is keeping all
the managers engaged, keeping them positive,
making sure we're sharing the right information
with employees and making sure everyone is
kept safe."
No matter what external factors are in play,
Perry focuses on TAS' three daily missions -
ensuring the safety and wellbeing of its employees; ensuring quality service to its customers;
and ensuring a financial responsibility to its
shareholders.
"No matter the situation, we need to be
equipped and agile enough to successfully
achieve those goals," Perry says.
This is why Perry enjoys the position he is in
at TAS, and being part of the strategic thinkers.
"I sit two doors down from the CEO," Perry
says. "It's exciting being able to help steer and
direct this company. With the amount of
growth we've had in three years, if we continue
that, it's an amazing place."
Beyond the operation components, adds
Tano, it is important that the person in this
position can mentor the next generation of leaders. He points to Perry's multi-faceted skillsets
that allow him to lead his team across several
disciplines, including customer service, contracts, labor efficiencies, safety and financial
reporting.
"Dana's mark on the organization is both
present and future," Tano concludes.
