2. How did you become a leader? Can you please briefly tell the story?

A year after I got my job I became a leader because
1: Listen and learn
Leadership is about social skills, not power and control. The most effective leaders take time to listen and learn about their team members and the unique qualities of leadership they each have.

Create opportunities for your team members to capitalize on their strengths and maximize their efficiency. Ask for feedback and inquire about employee ideas. The more team members feel personally valued, the more you’ll embolden them to work with passion toward goals they believe in and care about.

Step 2: Create shared goals for the team
Leaders know where they want to go and take time to learn about team members’ personal goals and visions. This can help ensure everyone feels valued and encompassed in the company’s larger mission.

Explore your team members’ core values and incorporate them into larger, team- and company-wide goals. You’ll help your team members find more meaning and fulfillment in their work, motivating them to work beyond assigned tasks towards innovation.

Step 3: Always seek opportunities to improve
Leaders are growth-minded and take every opportunity to better themselves and their teams.

Who is a leader you look up to? What is a leadership role you can see yourself in, and who is currently in that role? Get to know those leaders better, and consider asking one of them to mentor you.

You may also find opportunities for improvement from your colleagues and team members. Provide opportunities for open conversation and feedback across all levels of your organization.

When providing feedback to others, pair transparent communication with additional resources for team members to sharpen their skills and maximize their strengths. This will enable them to bring their best to every situation, and provide more creative feedback

3. How do you structure your work days from waking up to going to sleep?

I made a work plan which every week I already plan on how to execute a daily task and make sure I manage time also Routines are important to help you get an appropriate amount of sleep, maintain a healthy eating regimen and for keeping your obligations straight.

4. What's a recent leadership lesson you've learned for the first time or been reminded of?

Learning How To Be A Better Leader For the first time which has made me improved a lot.

5. What's one book that has had a profound impact on your leadership so far? Can you please briefly tell the story of how that book impacted your leadership?

I read a leadership guide to difficult conversation by Jonno White.. It makes me understand on how to deal with my staffs and also flow freely with them.

6. If you could only give one piece of advice to a young leader, what would you say to them?

All I will have to say is they should be a good example to others coming underneath them.

7. What is one meaningful story that comes to mind from your time as a leader, so far?

The only meaning story is that I am so much loves by my staffs and I also care about them.
