How do you define leadership?
Helping others achieve what they never thought possible through vision, encouragement, support and the power of teamwork.
What’s the worst mistake a leader can make?
Ignoring or not acknowledging personal mistakes.
What was the best advice you ever received?
Don’t be self deprecating or you will become your criticism. What are some personal and/or professional sacrifices to being a leader? Mentally, you are rarely “off the clock.”
Lilo is one of the best, dynamic leaders we have. Its a true pleasure to learn from someone who defines “Mission accomplishment”! If you are who you associate yourself with, then the people in Harris that she touches, are the real beneficiaries of that relationship.
