Leading Teams at West Coast Transit

William is an easy going team player who also doesn’t mind leading a project. He and Katelyn can co-lead the project together. William is a veteran in his area of expertise and motivated by challenging work. Working as the leader with Katelyn will be a good fit for this project. Last but not least I will choose Ian.
