DR. MARTINA AS A LEADER

Leadership is not about power.
Great Leaders create room for others to grow.
The future of leadership is less leading, more empowerment.
When I think of a leader, I think of a wise old woman with long great hair. Just kidding: Someone who trusts their team and helps them to grow if they ask for it.
MAKING A MEASURABLE IMPACT.
