And it is not an easy task. Defining words is hard. Using them correctly is even harder! And getting two groups of people to agree on the shared meaning or impact of those words can feel like an impossible challenge.<\/p>\n<p>Without understanding our values, we cannot act genuinely. After all, that is the meaning of being genuine and abiding by the values and ethics we hold dear.<\/p>\n<p>Understanding our &#8220;why&#8221; helps us in moments of cognitive overload or when we walk into that meeting feeling unprepared. Indeed, if we know our guiding principles, we aren\u2019t unprepared at all. We have an ethic that can steer us through unknown territory and a set of behaviours that can help us navigate the most delicate of steps along our journey.<\/p>\n<p>In comparison to the leadership activity we conducted in week 1, little has changed for me regarding the leadership qualities I hold in high esteem. However, I understand these qualities in a much greater depth.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Leaders who focus on ideas, not people, inspire me.<\/li>\n<li>Leaders who believe in the power of transformation, inspire me.<\/li>\n<li>And leaders who aim to inspire, are truly lost.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As we see the winter melt away and the busyness of spring take sprout, I encourage you all to consider all of the victories you have achieved this past season, large or small. Cherish those memories. Make them your superpower. And keep putting one foot in front of another, because after all, you never know just how far your legs can take you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome back, readers!
