SIDE BY SIDE IN THE TRENCHES
In Samantha’s mind, part of the mission of every leader
is to work with others to become better versions of
themselves. “Wherever I can, I off er love, support, and a
whole lot of patience. Patience is essential because you’re
supporting them in reaching their goals. Place them in
your business based on their goals, not yours. The rest is
up to them, not you.”
Rather than be set on a specifi c end result, Samantha
advocates, “You have to detach yourself from the
outcome. With others, you’re working by their side in
the trenches every step of the way toward improvement.
Being side by side with your team in the trenches is
what leadership means to me.”
