Leadership Defined

By Natasha L. Foreman, MBA

Leadership should be born out of the understanding of the

needs of those who would be affected by it.

Marian Anderson’s quote is so deep yet simple. You need to know where you want to go, recognize and determine how best to use the resources that are made available to you; equip those who follow you with the tools needed to build and help support your vision and mission; and understand the needs of every single person who will be affected by your reign of leadership. If you merely seek to lead for self-serving reasons you will find yourself carrying your own banner with no one behind you.
