Reflecting on Leadership A few years ago, I had the incredible experience of participating in the Golden Gate relay with an amazing team. This race spans 190 miles from Calistoga to Santa Cruz, CA, divided into 36 legs and run by teams of twelve over two days. Each member runs three legs, varying in length and difficulty, ensuring someone is always running. For me, that meant running 14.5 miles over two days. This photo, with me in the pink shirt at the center, perfectly encapsulates why I believe that all good leaders know they are only as strong and effective as their team. Completing this race required constant teamwork, communication, and support. We divided into two vehicles, alternating between running and supporting our teammates. The Golden Gate relay wasn't just a physical challenge; it was a lesson in leadership. Surrounding yourself with people who have unique skills and perspectives, who care about the team, and who build rapport, camaraderie, and commitment is essential. This race was tough and exhausting, filled with challenges, but it was the strength of our team that made it possible for us to succeed. There was no need for a single person to step up and take charge because everyone was committed, everyone cared, and everyone ensured we all finished together. This experience is a treasured reminder that effective leadership is about fostering a team where every member feels valued and empowered to contribute their best. #Leadership #Teamwork #GoldenGateRelay #ReflectingOnLeadership #OwnYourCareer
