What is your favorite quote?
“Leadership is the ability to turn intention into reality and sustain it.”
What fictional character would you want to be? Why?
Sherlock Holmes, because he helps good triumph over evil and solves so many mysteries by seeing things in unconventional ways and using counterintuitive methods. He sees the same things others see but thinks something different than others think. I also like the fact that he has his companion Dr. Watson with him every step of the way and works in such a collaborative way with others.
Describe yourself in 7 words.
