Leadership means understanding others, inspiring them, and unleashing their potential. It involves empathy, teamwork, and creating a supportive environment.

Leadership is not giving instructions.

Great Leaders manage to inspire and help unleash their staff's potential.

The future of leadership is understanding where one is coming from and thus making teams successful.

When I think of a leader, I think of my future self.
