Frequently asked questions

How would you define leadership?

I think leadership is inspiring others to share a vision and strive toward a common goal. Leaders inspire their teams.

Setting an example, communicating well, creating a healthy and productive work atmosphere, and teaching team ownership and accountability are all important. There are a lot of cliches about leading by example, which are true, but you have to get them excited about what it is you’re excited about and then it all happens naturally.

True leaders can inspire their teams to reach their maximum potential and innovation, so they can perform their best and achieve more than they thought possible.
