What does leadership mean to you?

Collaboration. Listening. Grace. Gratitude. I’ve spent time working under great leaders and less than that leaders. The most success I saw came from leaders who had big tables with lots of seats that welcomed and valued everyone. Bringing together different views and values around a shared mission can be challenging, but strong leadership will navigate that process with grace and gratitude.
