Most Important Leadership Quality: Empathy. Being able to lead with compassion while understanding one’s experiences helps establish trust and builds strong relationships.
The Advice I’d Give Someone New: Absorb all you can about your new environment, job and company culture. Then, over time, look for ways to enhance it.
What I’d Tell 16-Year-Old Me: Enjoy these high school years a bit more and the relationships you have; you don’t have to sweat the grades as much, which you have a propensity to do. Also, don’t take your Isuzu Rodeo out mudding in the desert with your buddies — the SUV will never be the same.
