LETITIA AS A LEADER
Success means helping everyone who needs my support, with the journey itself being the reward.
Leadership is not a one word answer.
Great Leaders have incredible teams of people around them within a culture of trust, inclusivity, and inspiration.
The future of leadership is continually being reinvented because our need to be more equitable with power while expanding our view of the world to include a more holistic mindset will continue to evolve..
When I think of a leader, I think of a guide and a great listener, a sounding board and support, a connector and facilitator, and a caring human who inspires those around them to place their time and energy into their collective goals.
ERRORS ARE PART OF THE JOURNEY—ADMITTING THEM OPENLY BUILDS TRUST AND FACILITATES GROWTH.
