YUHAN AS A LEADER

My definition of success is the continuous pursuit of personal and professional growth, making meaningful contributions to society, and finding fulfillment in both my achievements and relationships. Yes, I consider myself successful because I have been able to leverage my experiences, skills, and opportunities to make a positive impact in my field, continuously strive for excellence, and maintain a balanced and fulfilling life.

Leadership is not hierachy.

Great Leaders inclusive.

The future of leadership is starting todady.

When I think of a leader, I think of humbleness.
