Leadership Accelerator | Advisory Council

"Leadership is inclusivity. To lead is to create an environment where individuals feel welcome to express their ideas, challenge norms, and try something new. An inclusive leader cheers team members on when they succeed, supports them when they fail, and encourages key moments to serve as learning opportunities."

"Leadership is knowing what you do well and where you can evolve. It is understanding how to draw the best out of others and inspiring great work by modeling the behavior and outcomes you hope to see."

“Leadership is making productive change and development happen.”

"Leadership is an efficient, ethical, and accurate Iowa caucus tally. Openness to continuous learning and mutual support to lead must reside at the heart of our work."

“Leadership is helping others grow and rise, together.”

"Leadership is about stepping up to do what you know is right, even when it is hard."

"Leadership is the ability to mobilize others towards a shared goal."

“Leadership is directly tied to communication - both verbal and non-verbal. Building awareness through a clear communication strategy can enhance effectiveness as a leader in a very real way.”

“Leadership is to envision a plausible future, and then to apply power with perspective-taking to get there.”

"Leadership is about coming up with a vision and making it a reality. A good leader knows how to listen, collaborate, and not lose sight of the big picture."

"Leadership is listening and working with others collaboratively towards a common purpose.”

“Leadership is a play in three acts: envision, energize, execute.”

“Leadership is bringing out the best in others while continually striving for the best in yourself.”

“Leadership is a mindset of inclusive listening and learning, translated into innovation and operational excellence, that creates value for employees, business, and society.”
