Airport director responds

Editor:

I read your recent article about the new director at the airport, and you mentioned that I leaked information during a bid process. It was not leaked, I informed the Airport's general counsel and the Commission Chair that one of my employees had shared a budget statement and hangar list with potential bidders that he had obtained from Signature Aviation. [Signature’s general manager] offered it freely [and] she was later dismissed.

When I became aware that he had shared that info, I immediately called [general counsel] and he told me that we should share this information with all the bidders so that we could be transparent and "not get caught with our pants down." I complied with his direction and issued a Request For Proposal amendment. I informed the Chairman what had taken place.

When Signature read the RFP amendment they requested we remove it. I did as they asked. Shortly thereafter they met with the Commission Chair and threatened litigation.

The Commission forced me to resign because they were afraid they would be sued by Signature. I didn't do anything wrong. I did what I was told to do.

All of this can be verified with an open records request.

Tim Bradshaw

Director of Aviation Cheyenne Regional Airport

According to one of the more obvious articles in Forbes, “hiring based on shared values and cultural beliefs leads to winning results. Culture fit is the most important aspect of retaining great employees above everything else.”

Perhaps the magic formula is not establishing a corporate culture that is easy going or high energy. It’s simply making sure the employees are those who complement that culture.

Don’t assume everybody is going to fit in with what you’ve built—no matter how great it is.
