Living Our Values: Reflections from Knutson Leadership

As we continue to embrace our new values in the office, on job sites, and beyond, we asked Knutson’s leadership what these values mean to them and how they demonstrate them each day at Team Blue. See below for some meaningful reflection!

🌟Care With Action🌟
We don’t just say we care; we demonstrate it through responsiveness, thoughtful problem-solving, and a commitment to doing what’s right — especially when it matters most.

Steph Ekern, Human Resources Manager

Mike McMahn, Vice President of Health Care

🌟Lead with Courage🌟
Courage means stepping forward when it would be easier to stay silent. We push ourselves to grow, hold one another accountable, and choose progress over complacency — building stronger teams and better outcomes.

Chris Lyles, Director of Life Sciences and Technology

Tom Leimer, Senior Vice President + General Manager Rochester + Mankato

🌟Build A Team Environment🌟
Great projects happen when people feel trusted, supported, and connected. We intentionally foster collaboration, open communication, and shared accountability across teams and partners. When everyone feels valued and aligned, ideas are stronger, performance rises, and success is shared.

Scott Hughes, Vice President + General Manager 

Ana Lowery, Diversity, Inclusion + Community Partner
