What are some of the characteristics of a good leader?
“I believe being a good listener and flexibility are integral to being a good leader. It’s important to know how your team learns and takes in information, and you have to be able to adjust your communication style based on what works best for certain individuals or your team as a whole.”
What advice would you give to the next generation of female leaders?
“Confidence is key. Be confident in who you are and your abilities to lead and win. Trusting yourself and working hard will grow your confidence tremendously. Confidence in your team is just as important. If your team thinks you don’t believe in their ability to achieve success, how will they believe in themselves? Encouraging your team and celebrating their victories, no matter how small, can instill confidence and the desire and determination to succeed.”

What’s one leadership lesson you’ve learned in your career?
“You should expect to make mistakes, never let fear be the reason or the delay in your decision making. When you’re wrong, admit it and move on. You’ll earn the respect of your team and clients when you own up to your mistakes and address it promptly rather than avoiding resolution.”

What are some of the characteristics of a good leader?
“Organization and strategy, confidence, trust, and communication.
Good leaders need to be able to form game plans quickly and strategically delegate tasks. That takes full confidence in oneself and team members. Leaders must be able communicate well and understand what motivates others.”
What’s one leadership lesson you’ve learned in your career?
“Transparency and honesty build respect and the desire to be one’s best self. When people don’t understand your motives, they can’t share those motives. Helping people see their potential, gain confidence, and form their own goal is key to team success. When team members feel important and like they are a part of something, they do whatever it takes to succeed.”
