Let's just say, you'd better be on point, totally prepared, and have a good sense of humor.

I have a good balance of keeping the train moving but letting people enjoy coming to work every day. Most people who have worked with me have been there for ten years," she says.

Impressive. Any raised voices? "There's yelling but not just from me. People yell at me!" says Richie.
