When the tragedies visited me in the last couple of weeks, I found myself really knocked down. The answers that I thought I had, suddenly disappeared. I found myself lacking the courage that I had been religiously talking about encouraging fellow human beings to have. When tragedies struck, I wanted to switch off every form of communication and just be with myself. I forgot what I had just said to my fellow human beings a few days before. I forgot all the positive feedback and messages of encouragement that I had received from those that had read my messages of encouragement.

Now listen as I share how I draw strength to carry on from my mother's leadership qualities. I invite you to learn, share, and grow as you develop your leadership qualities.

Last week I shared 7 leadership principles and lessons that I learned from my mother’s life. These principles are courage, faith, selfless service, unconditional love, forgiveness, community, and humility. I encourage you to revisit the previous episode to gain more insight into these noble leadership principles. Today I reflect on the drivers of the leadership principles that I observed from my mother’s life. As you think and reflect on leadership in your field, I challenge you to reflect on the seven leadership principles as well as the nine qualities of selfless service-oriented leaders that I have shared. Internalize these principles and qualities, use them to develop as a leader, and share them with those, whose leadership you wish to see grow and flourish.
