EMERGING LE DERS Joshua Hard ick Operations Leader .H. Bagsha Co. Inc. In three years, Joshua “Josh” Hardwick has gone from having only a tech support background to working as a CNC machinist and then a team leader before becoming operations leader at W.H. Bagshaw Co. Inc. (Nashua, New Hampshire). In his current position as operations leader, he supervises the safety and tech teams, and continues to grow within his role. He has completed a Loss Control Academy program and is highly involved with the internal ISO audits. Hardwick is dedicated and lives up to his position as a leader within the company. Not only does he open the shop at 4 a.m. each day and regularly works overtime as needed but he also helps his co-workers enhance their skills. “He’s rst to do a ‘dirty job’ himself, but is savvy to delegate for the purpose of elevating and advancing someone else,” says his nominator, Adria Bagshaw, vice president. “He’s supremely patient and has been a great resource for the other team leaders, not only answering their questions but taking the time to explain and improve their skills.” “I look forward to continuing to grow my career at W.H Bagshaw by using my leader-ship and troubleshooting skills to help my team accomplish anything that comes their way,” Hardwick says. “Josh is patient and has been a great resource for other leaders.” dria Bagsha tecnicrafts R Visit the CAD/CAM Software Zone.
