She is also passionate about developing people – motivating and empowering employees to make a difference and to constantly hunger to grow. “Many individuals already have natural leadership gifts, and it's a true gift when a leader recognises this and mentors employees to become authentic leaders themselves.”
When a leader leads with purpose and integrity, creating lasting values and having a clear vision of where the organisation is headed, Michelle believes a company can stand out form the crowd. “Pursuing the purpose of providing excellence; having the flexibility to allow for new ideas and growth; and a commitment to never changing quality will allow a company to rise above the rest,” she declares.
In leading with honesty and integrity a leader can leave a profound legacy. “No legacy is richer than a person's word – honesty, integrity and above all the testimony of Jesus,” she shares. “If we leave a legacy of love in the hearts of those who surround us, then we have not failed to leave the greatest legacy.”

“Authentic leadership for me means leading through experience, having the knowledge to be a positive and informed leader, and having your experience guide you to make good decisions,” she shares. “Leading people to reach their true potential and acknowledging their achievements is vital.” For Odette, growth for herself and others means change and, therefore, leadership involves change – being open to change and inspiring change. “Women have different talents and we should be using those to grow other women,” adds Michelle Wakefield, Relationship Manager. “It's no good pushing one another down we should be nurturing and moulding as we do with children – it's something that comes naturally to women.” |
