Randy believed that in order to SAFELY and efficiently GENERATE electricity for the LONG TERM, a solid, integrated site long range plan would need to be in place. His vision is to have Palo Verde operate at a high performance level well after he's gone.<br />Randy Edington is a true visionary with a strategic look for Palo Verde as well as the nuclear industry to decades to come. <br /><br />Jeffrey Carrollnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10911751.post-77466661351377937082014-12-18T14:22:56.955-05:002014-12-18T14:22:56.955-05:00As a Palo Verde Shift Manager, I really appreciate...As a Palo Verde Shift Manager, I really appreciated the leadership that Randy Edington exhibited when he came to Palo Verde. The site regained its “Operational Focus” and the communications improved greatly. Randy has always been very approachable, and “walks the walk”. He inspires the same in the rest of the PV organization. His emphasis on training and knowledge transfer is especially helpful in managing the changing workforce due to retirements. I look forward to returning to Palo Verde in the near future.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06198927891239756767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10911751.post-24221655681379440672014-12-18T11:11:49.992-05:002014-12-18T11:11:49.992-05:00I am greatly looking forward to seeing Randy next ...I am greatly looking forward to seeing Randy next month on site and thanking him again for his support for me during Palo Verde's industry-leading Plants Systems Training. At NEI, we are adopting more and more of APS' best practices when it comes to communications and training.

The good news is I believe in Communications. The bad news is I REALLY believe in communications. <br />I can truly say that having served as one of his Communicators has been the highlight of my career and the most rewarding.<br />Randy Edington has left his mark on Palo Verde, APS and the entire Nuclear Industry, and in my book, he's a modern-day hero.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00382631765458262623noreply@blogger.com
