My Leadership Philosophy

My Leadership Philosophy For me, leadership is about being versatile. One should be flexible enough to be both extroverted and introverted when situation calls for it. Leadership is also about influencing myself and others by giving a greater meaning to shared values. I lead and follow best when my relationships with people have a high level of openness and trust.
