Leadership to me means taking initiative to recognize an issue that needs help and believing that you can take it on while doing the right thing for the organization, even if it is going to be difficult. It is also imperative to ask for help when you need it and always give credit to your team. Another important piece of leadership is continuing to find learning opportunities that help broaden your horizons.
