Due to our ethical standards we were mistrustful of non-clinical managers who wanted to make clinical decisions, and some splitting was occurring in the team as different modalities attempted to understand each other. I found Libby’s greatest strengths as a leader were her ability to listen, hunger for learning, and desire to make the team cohesive. Where appropriate Libby asked for the team’s input, giving everyone space without hierarchy, and integrated our feedback into her actions plans. This allowed us to feel valued and gave Libby new knowledge to work from thereafter. Where relationships in the team were struggling, Libby would meet with individuals to explore our experiences and concerns before facilitating a safe conversation between both parties. Libby also introduced more opportunities for social connection so we could know and value one another.

Working with Libby Carson has been an extraordinary experience. Libby possesses an incredible talent for transforming the workplace into the most amazing environment imaginable. She has an innate ability to make each individual feel valued and special. Whether it's baking delicious cakes for birthdays, offering a sympathetic ear, or handling an unmanageable workload with grace, Libby creates a workplace where everyone wants to be.
During my time at Thorndon Eye Clinic, where I was contracted to oversee financial management, I had the pleasure of working alongside Libby. Her leadership by example, dedication, and unwavering support made even late nights and weekend work enjoyable. Libby's presence and management style are truly inspiring, and she is someone I wholeheartedly respect.
