ALIDA AS A LEADER
Success is a moving target. I attribute my career success to leaders who believed in me, provided mentorship, and supported me in proving myself.
Leadership is not authority.
Great Leaders genuine.
The future of leadership is embracing change.
When I think of a leader, I think of Michelle Obama.
SHE AIMED FOR THE SKY AND TOOK US WITH HER ALL THE WAY.

ALIDA ON PRIORITIZING HEALTH AND WELL-BEING
Alida believes people should be selective with whom they spend time, prioritize health and well-being, and create a personal board of directors for different life elements. She works harder when uncomfortable, embraces uncertainty and trusts herself.
ALIDA ON DEVELOPING A GREAT CULTURE
Alida thinks it can be difficult to balance different skills and capabilities, provide learning opportunities, and uphold high standards. But with empathy, transparency, and motivation, leaders can make it work.
THE CHALLENGES AND SETBACKS, AND CARVING OUT TIME TO ANALYZE SITUATIONS NEUTRALLY, HELP ME BECOME A BETTER LEADER.
