A Note to Emerging Leaders

“When you’re in a leadership role, developing your intuition plays a big part as your employees rely on you to make trustworthy decisions.

“It is important to note that staying true to your values and morals is key in your journey. Understanding that you don’t know everything is a very valuable lesson to learn early on. Admitting to failures, taking accountability, and making necessary changes is what is important.”
