BARBARA AS A LEADER

Success occurs when an individual wields influence, enabling them to drive change and pioneer transformative advancements within their domain.

Leadership is not control.

Great Leaders listen.

The future of leadership is the ability to lead and collaborate.

When I think of a leader, I think of many different people and varied leadership styles.
