What is your individual purpose as a leader?

What drives you? 

“Being a good leader is what drives me. My passion will always start and end with people―seeing people achieve and creating opportunities for them to do things they didn’t know they could do.”

This ( My Purpose) keeps me motivated each day to do things with utmost efficiency, its not about what I do, its all about how I do my job and why. It’s the reason for the strength and passion I bring to the table in whatever I do.
