Katie,

I love this line from your piece:  "Leaders, at any level, hold a piece of other peoples’ hopes and dreams. That responsibility should not be taken lightly."  It is an important reminder that leaders are not just responsible for goals being accomplished, but also responsible to the people on their team.  It is not a one way street, but a super highway of shared responsibilities, dreams, and accomplishments.  Clearly you are a well seasoned traveler here.

Thank you for sharing your story.

Deb
