GATHONI AS A LEADER

Success changes daily. Sometimes it's seeing someone achieve something with my help, getting a compliment, confidently requesting fair compensation, or reflecting on my growth. Each day brings its own definition of success.

Leadership is not fact.

Great Leaders listen.

The future of leadership is kind.

When I think of a leader, I think of a guiding light.
