DST@CKC Event 022213

It takes more than passion to be a true leader. Listening and loyalty are also important.  Delquanda S. Turner has personally observed qualities which I feel represent true leadership.

  2. Avoid placing your own expectations on a community.

These qualities are fully explored in two posts in the Series:
