Black History Month sees Honeywell celebrate its employees and their perspectives, as inspirational Honeywell future shapers share their best career advice. 

Compassion will only make you a better leader and employee

Tarsha Luke, chief litigation counsel for Honeywell Aerospace, and Honeywell Black Employee Network executive committee member [pictured above] says:
"Always remain true to yourself. You want to be able to look at yourself in the mirror and know you acted with integrity. Your compassion will only make you a better leader and employee."

Be intentional about what you want to do next

Netta Washington, president of Honeywell Safety and Productivity Solutions' gas detection business [pictured above] says:

"Act with purpose. Earlier in my career, I was unintentional in determining my next career steps. Oftentimes, I would get “tapped” to solve a problem and because of where I was in my career, I didn’t think I had the right to say no, and I saw my career span across many different functions. One of my former bosses pulled me to the side and asked me what I wanted to do next, and for so long, I had allowed the “tap” to guide me. At that point, I realized I really didn’t know. This is when he gave me some advice that changed my career. He said to be intentional about what you want to do next and control the moves that take you there. From that point on, I continued to be “tapped,” but I regularly passed on opportunities that I felt did not lead to my ultimate goal."
