Janvier believes the most important qualities of a successful leader include maintaining a calm demeanor, analyzing all sides of a situation, and being fair and compassionate. Passion, persistence, and the ability to pivot when necessary are also crucial for achieving success.
Maintaining a healthy work-life balance is essential for Janvier, who finds solace in her strong marriage and supportive family. Her small farm and the animals she cares for provide a significant stress-reliever. Spending time outdoors and connecting with nature helps her erase the stresses of the day.
Despite holding many leadership positions over the years, Janvier prefers to think of herself as a representative rather than a leader. She views her roles, whether on the Town Council, Planning and Zoning Commission, Lions Club, or PTA, as responsibilities to represent and serve her community and respective groups faithfully.
Janvier Werner’s dedication to Flower Mound is evident in her commitment to preserving the town’s values and natural beauty. Her approach to leadership, rooted in representation and advocacy, continues to impact the community she loves and serves positively.
