Leadership can be a wild ride, and an analogy could be made to a roller coaster with long lines, detours, and a lot of waiting.
One thing is for sure that it’s not something that happens overnight as much as it can seem that way from the outside looking in.
It’s important to continually develop your leadership and be intentional with gaining resources and staying in community with the right people.
I had the opportunity to talk about all this and more talking with someone who’s been an executive at one of the highest revenue generating companies in the world (Fortune 20) and she shares a lot of valuable insights.
