Post 2: Relationships

Relationships. When relationships first come to mind, I think about a couple dating. But is that all a relationship really is? Absolutely not, I can think about the relationship I have with my family, my co-workers, my sisters and my residents. Depending on the population I am working with my relationship is slightly different. For example, I would never say some of the things I talk about with my friends to my family and I may not share my personal life with my co-workers, yet would with my sisters. But why are relationships so important as a leader? I think it is important to constantly stay true to you. Never to put on an act when interacting with a certain group, because that isn't fair to anyone. However, I think it is okay to express yourself in different ways when it comes to interacting with different populations. Being a leader and having a positive relationship with a wide variety of people will make you more open to all different types of people, allowing you to better serve as a leader.
