YOUNG LEADERS PROGRAM “A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.” - John Maxwell Leaders are the ones who inspire; who blaze a new trail when things get rough. To give hope to people, to see through the haze of uncertainty is the essence of leadership. Leaders are the ones who motivate others to dream more, do more and become more. To lead is to serve; to put people’s needs first with an eye on the ultimate goal. Leaders are the ones who listen, ideate, innovate and inspire others with their vision.
