If you know that people who you are leading--without a doubt--will do as you say and not hesitate to carry out a goal you had in mind that, is what makes someone an excellent leader. I pride myself on being a very genuine person, and I don’t change to fit in or have people like me, because that’s not honest and won’t help me in the long run.

I want to be the face of change, the ‘white guy’ who knows of the problem, and wont turn his back on it. It’s frustrating to realize many individuals in positions of power in the business world today and in the future don’t use their privileged positions to enact change, but I Know that I will, and I look forward to changing the world of business as we know
