RONKE AS A LEADER

True success is when you balance personal growth, work, and community contributions, ensuring you are comfortable with where you focus your efforts.

Leadership is not telling people what to do.

Great Leaders model the kind of people they want their team to be.

The future of leadership is diverse.

When I think of a leader, I think of someone who has my back and allows me to grow.
