It is easy to get caught up in details but that should never stop you from seeing the big picture, Helping the people. It is so important for a leader to connect with the people because whether you realize it or not they look up to you for support and follow your example. A leader cares about the people and will take the time to show them they care. Leaders will try to listen and understand everyone. There is so much good you can do as a leader as long as you put in some hard work! Leading can be time-consuming but will always be worth it as you grow and you help others grow as well. You will be able to see the differences you make whether they be little or small and being able to help others will make you happier to inspire others to do the same. Leading is all about changing. You will not regret trying to be a better leader. I am so thankful for the experience I had to interview Hailey.
