OLIVIA AS A LEADER
Success for me is FREEDOM= engagement and excitement of my team + excitement of my management + my work-life balance + my happy family.
Leadership is not position.
Great Leaders are free souls and speak out their mind .
The future of leadership is true you.
When I think of a leader, I think of my father.
WORK HAS AN END; THERE'S ALWAYS TOMORROW TO DELIVER AND DECIDE.
