As my leadership journey at work started it was simple, I was an effective worker accomplishing goals, meeting deadlines and helping to increase profits. The hope from my leaders at the time was that as a leader I would motivate others to succeed. It wasn’t until years later as my scope increased and also welcoming children into my life that I realized the power of leadership comes from understanding your why? I love the song Sunday Best by Surfaces and the simple message:

Every day can be a better day, despite the challenge
All you gotta do is leave it better than you found it

My leadership goal is simple – leave people, processes and teams better than when I found them. There is nothing more gratifying than helping others.
