Being a social enterpreneur: Charmian Love

So, leadership for me is about where and how

people are able to move others,

to take the necessary actions that are required

for meeting whatever the challenge is

that you're being faced with.

I've been inspired by the student strikers –

those who are doing Fridays For the Future.

I've been inspired by many of the movements that are really standing up,

and they're made of everyday people that care enough about an issue

that they're willing to stand up and be a part of a signalling of:

'This is not OK.'

Just recognising the really wide and diverse range

in which people can step into leadership positions

has been one of the joys of my journey.

They're not always the people that you will see on the cover of a newspaper.

There are really extraordinary people doing extraordinary things.

Know yourself: know what you have to give

and know that, whatever it is,

it is valuable, it is precious,

because it's coming from you.

I think leaders should be very careful to not become

so convinced by themselves and their own leadership model

that they don't have the ability to reflect

and be, sort of, quite self-critical as needed.

I think one of the biggest challenges for leaders

is to know when to step back and to be a follower.
