Culture Change Team Lead Antonne Smalls said, “I got involved because I’ve always had a passion for people and change. I value everybody. I believe that everyone has something they can bring to the table. I also believe that based on your personal background, you can provide unique qualities that can influence change in the organization. I believe that NNSY is a professional organization made up of varied individuals from various walks of life. We have what I consider an amalgamation of cultures at NNSY that creates its own culture. To our challenge, it's important that we identify and appreciate everyone but at the same time never lose focus on what our real intention here is - to deliver ships to the fleet, safe, ready, and on time. We cannot forget about those individuals that do affect fit, form, and function, which has in the past been a second thought. We can't separate the two - the people and the mission. That's my perspective.”
