Moments of reflection

Reflecting on my week at a leadership retreat. What makes a leader? What makes a GOOD leader?
.
I like to think it’s someone who pours into those around her, is supportive and understanding yet firm in her communication.
.
Someone who is respected but also down to earth. Who knows her stuff but isn’t arrogant or condescending.
.
Who is solid in her confidence but not so intimidating you are afraid to approach her.
.
A good leader sees and hears your concerns, helps you address them and teaches you how to solve your own problems so then you can then help others.
.
Have I reached that level? Well, I’m coachable and teachable and love to learn new things so I like to think I’m not only a student of life but also a leader walking beside you.
