Sarah Leberman MNZM is one of New Zealand's most influential leaders.
She believes that leadership is not about the title. Everyone can exercise leadership. We've been conditioned over many years to behave in a certain way and many leaders are hesitant to embrace emotion because in her life it was seen as a weakness to show emotion.
