Leaders are learners not knowers, willing to make mistakes and own them, willing to take risks and chances. Leaders know themselves well, their strengths and weaknesses. Leaders are good listeners, have compassion, are genuine and honest. Leaders often have a quality and a presence that attracts people to work with them. Leaders have an open door always.
Leaders have no fear because they believe in themselves and their vision.
Leaders work WITH, FOR and not OVER people. Our story of learning about leadership together allows us to tell stories about vision, heart and doing justice. Nothing happens without leadership in any organization. Leadership is thoughtful and committed people standing together to create a more just and inclusive society.
