Leadership is about serving others, not ourselves, about doing what is right even when it feels uncomfortable, not choosing silence over what’s right. A real leader is one who seeks to understand others, one who helps others see their own potential and helps them nurture it. A person who fails but fails daring greatly. Leadership is about being clear, kind and intentional. Most importantly, leadership is about "having the courage to show up, even when you can’t control the outcome” (Brene Brown, Daring Greatly).
