To me, it's about always trying to make decisions that reflect my leadership and who I am.

Leadership, to me, is about the ability to have people want to hear what you have to say. People want to be around you, people want to believe in what you tell them, and they feel good when they walk away from you about who they are and what they're doing.

Leadership is a position where you want to create the opportunity to inspire people to walk along beside you, not listen to what you say.
