Celebrating our People: LeighAnna Emunson

LeighAnna Emunson, East Area Manager

The SCS Ted Lasso Award Recipient

At our September company meeting, SCS proudly recognized an individual who truly embodies what it means to be a team coach, mentor, and people‑first leader. LeighAnna Emunson was honored with the 2025 SCS Ted Lasso Award, an award given to someone who is always there with a positive word, motivates those around them, and leads with heart, optimism, and purpose.

This award celebrates forward‑thinking leadership, strategic planning, and the ability to inspire and guide others toward achieving organizational goals, and LeighAnna exemplifies every one of those qualities.

LeighAnna has an exceptional understanding of her team on both a personal and professional level. She knows how to meet people where they are, while still clearly communicating expectations and guiding them toward success. No matter the situation she is faced with, LeighAnna handles it with grace, clarity, and confidence, making her an incredible mentor and a leader that everyone at SCS can look to as a model of excellence.

One of LeighAnna’s most remarkable accomplishments is building an entirely new team from the ground up. Using her experience and strong management skills, she has created an environment where engagement, growth, and collaboration thrive. She continually invests in her team, mentoring each individual to be the best version of themselves, professionally and personally.

What truly sets LeighAnna apart is her energy and attitude. She leads by example with a pep in her step, a smile on her face, and a cheerleader’s spirit that never fades. Through the good days and the challenging ones, she is always encouraging, always positive, and always pushing her team forward. Her passion for this business radiates in everything she does and in every interaction, she has, whether with her team, colleagues, or partners across the organization.

Like Ted Lasso himself, LeighAnna inspires through both words and actions. She makes those around her feel supported, empowered, and capable of more than they thought possible. Whether she’s guiding a project through challenges, celebrating wins big and small, or offering just the right words at the right moment, LeighAnna exemplifies leadership that is people‑first and forward‑thinking.

Congratulations to LeighAnna Emunson on being named the 2025 SCS Ted Lasso Award winner. Your leadership, heart, and unwavering positivity continue to make a lasting impact on your team and the entire SCS organization.
