Rome
Leadership is much more than leading others; it is about the legacy and stories we leave behind. I hope to create a legacy of dedication, empathy, integrity, and courage. I want others to remember me as someone who is kind to all, strives to do what is right despite what the crowd is doing, and wants to see others succeed. As a leader we should focus on building those around us up instead of bringing them down. My hope is that everyone sees these aspects about me now and continues to see after I am gone.
There are many good parts of leadership we can see in the Roman leaders, but also things we can learn from so we do not repeat things they did that we do not agree with. Julius Caesar for example let his power take control over the way he led. I do not want to lead this way, but I can learn for his story that power can bring people together but also tear them apart. This is one thing I love about leadership. We can learn from others while also creating our own style that fits with what we believe in and value.
Constantine is one leader with a story that has a direct influence on me. Constantine's life left a lasting impact on Christianity and how he embraced it even though it was not very popular at the time. The way he stands firm in his beliefs is what I truly admire because it helped shape Christianity and make it more acceptable across the empire. Constantine's story is a reminder that sometimes we need to stand up for what we believe in despite what the majority is doing. I resonate with this greatly because one of my strengths from the strength's finder results was belief which means I have strong values such as faith similar to Constantine.
Storytelling is what helps leaders see their vision and values come to life. All of the stories from Roman leaders left a lasting impact on society and we can continue to learn from them today even though they are no longer here. As a cancer survivor, I want my story to empower others to not let setbacks be the reason they cannot accomplish hard things. I hope the way I live my life every day is a reflection of my beliefs and values. I want my story to be worth telling and inspire others daily.
