You usher buy-in by sharing the whys and building relationships before you re-build processes. Your leadership is grounded in transparency and collaboration. You're driven to grow the business, but you lead through influence, not authority. You embrace structure without rigidity and cultivate an environment where change is welcomed because trust is strong. Above all, you lead with humility. You know leadership isn't about hierarchy, but about people working together toward a shared vision. Because no matter what's in your bank account, you always remember that everyone puts their pants on one leg at a time every day.
