Future strong leadership means being willing to stand alone. Often, the times we feel most vulnerable are when we stand alone, before others join us. When we choose to be the first voice echoing above the silence. Standing strong, alone.

About This Quote

The definition of leadership is the ability to make an impact in the lives of others. True leadership means that you are willing to stand alone and make your voice heard to help others. No matter how much other people disagree with you, you must always speak out for what you believe in. If you can change one person’s life for the better, then the work has been well worth it.

The power of leadership comes from standing alone, yet looking at yourself through the eyes of others. If you are willing to be open and honest with yourself, then you will naturally act with integrity and make better decisions for yourself and those around you.
