I recently stepped into a leadership role. And wow, was I surprised at how different it was from what I had expected it to be. I never had such a higher appreciation for everyone in leadership position than I do now. It is a huge test of not only patience but also faith. I believe that every great leader marches beside those who hold lower but equally important positions. I believe that a true leader leads by example that can only be seen by those standing beside them. Relationships can only be formed through a mutual understanding that although you may be in a higher position than someone else they are still equal to you. By this I mean, they are still a human too. We all make mistakes and we all fall sometimes but as a leader it is our job to understand this. And when we do fall, it is important to remember that we must come together and pick each other up. At the end of the day, we are no one if we are not all one. In my lifetime, I have seen all sorts of leaders: the good, the bad, and the confused but having entered this leadership position I want nothing more than to be the best that I can possibly be. My hopes are that I can lead my team to be better than any that have come before us. I believe that we can make a difference.
