Here we are again, at one of the most difficult times that our nation will face. We don't do this alone; we are part of the global response to COVID-19. There is something about the quality of leadership that I think, again, speaks to how we get through this as well as we can. As a student of leadership, I know that there are three key elements to good leadership. The first is respect. How do you gain respect? Well, that's through deeds and actions, by being consistent in your responses to people, and also by being reliable so that people know when times are tough, you will always act in a consistent way—you are reliable in that regard—and by doing that you build trust. Trust is really important because there are some times when, as a leader, you have to take tough decisions that your community may not necessarily agree with but that you know are acting in the best interests of your community.
