better team member in the business world.
As a waste management specialist, Don Paul
Richards works with a team of coworkers to figure out how to solve problems
ranging from the financial to the environmental. He says that this kind of work
requires the ability to work with diverse groups of people all performing
different tasks to reach a similar goal, very similar to coordinating a pack of
football players on the field.
As a quarterback, Don Paul Richards gained
the experience of making quick fire decisions under huge pressure. While he
says that so far in twenty years of experience no one has tried to tackle him

solving skills in pretty high-risk situations, just like when starring as
McNeese State’s prize quarterback.

these skills playing football, the evidence is clear that his leadership skills
and high-pressure problem solving abilities have made him an expert in his
field. Don Paul Richards has won awards for tackling and successfully
completing the biggest, toughest project in the company and for performing best
