LeadByChoice Podcast by Kimunya Mugo

There is a misconception that leadership is about being strong, brash and indomitable. It is confidence, and above all, right of access anything they want. Is leadership what some make it to seem?

In this episode, we explore 4 leadership myths.

Being role models isn’t rocket science. It is making a choice to influence another person to grow beyond their comfort zone. It is believing that good can come out of living in transparency, accountability and purposefulness.

Role models serve as a behavioral or moral example to others, especially younger people. These people follow you because of your influence on them.

Are you a role model and how can you better influence others? ‪#‎leadership‬ ‪#‎influence‬
