Quotes: 

“So, one of the things I asked my boss was, “Hey can I do this informally and just ask some people to provide some input both from across, up, and then down as well?” To give me this really holistic feedback so I can look at gaps in my personality or wherever I need to improve.”  

“I know that having an understanding of leadership both in theory and in practice is vitally important to be able to lead a team.”
