Leadership is a topic written about a lot…
And there are lots of types of leaders…
Leadership is not about being"smart, rich or successful!
It’s not about position,"it’s about passion.
It’s not about leaders,"it’s about others.
A long time ago…"there used to be an idea…
Hey, Alexi!!That’s my idea!
Leader
everyone else who matters more
Capacity to care and empathize with others!
Connecting, not convincing!
Care è Connection è Change!
Outcomes Optimism!
Optimistic people produce the best results!
Leadership is about expanding yourself to help grow others to become the best you can be
together!
