Sport Leadership… Honest, believe in equity, hate conflict, expressive face, make decisions rapidly, loyal, nothing is not a possibility, happy to do and then say sorry, happy to say sorry, female, foreign, tall, sarcastic, sense of humour, sense of the ridiculous, excellent memory, understand the ‘boy’s club, can function well after a late night, healthy, good at admin, very good with the ‘big picture’, happy to let others take credit…when it doesn’t matter…….
Sport Leadership… • The way we lead comes from who we are
Sport Leadership… • So knowing who we are and what our strengths and weaknesses are is the first step to being a good leader
