Alphas; Always lead proudly with humility and accountability.

I do not consider myself and Alpha, but it is the title that many have given me, so I created this mantra for myself, that I will always lead proudly with humility and accountability. It is important to be the type of leader that others are inspired to follow. It is my belief that leaders should have a high moral compass and support their team in getting the job done right.
