Leadership

My leadership style is service leadership. Service leadership is critical for organizations to foster a culture that encourages continuous improvement and innovation. Servant leadership is a philosophy based on putting others first.

At the core of servant leadership is the understanding that by serving others I can create an environment that encourages collaboration, trust, and growth.
