Quote
"A quantum leader is someone who is willing to supersede their current structure that we think of leadership as. So, they are willing to bypass the current system, the current structure of leadership in order to elevate the consciousness of the people in need and themselves. A quantum leader is someone who is able to acknowledge the old system know how that system works then deconstruct it and dismantle it so that it can allow others to be elevated alongside them." - Mark Travis Rivera
