In his opening speech, the Executive Director of Leadership in Obscurity Network and Co-Director of Motor Works Restoration Company, United States, Dr. Vreeman Jerry explained that leadership is not about people, power, or authority, but about influence. “Leadership is the ability to see a better future and skill to influence others. The best investment in the future is a proper influence today. Influence is a skill that can be developed. Leadership is about people. Leadership is not a position, or power. It is not an authority, but an influence.
“To be a successful leader, ask more questions than give answers, have relationships with people and not position, educate yourself and love others,” Dr Jerry, submitted.
