Sean is great at being in charge -- of people, projects, football pools, whatever. He treats underlings respectfully and challenges them to do their best work and has a sense of humor when mistakes are made. He works harder than anyone I know + he genuinely likes people, which is pretty much the best possible quality in a manager.
