Sight and Life Nutrition Leadership Award – Nominations Open

 

Great leadership is about having a vision of an improved world, acting on that vision and inspiring others to do the same.

  • A good leader is a visionary, not a dreamer: someone who not only dreams and talks about a better world but steps up to realize his vision. 
  • A good leader is innovative and creative: someone who seeks new solutions to a problem and provides the knowledge and methods to take them into action. 
  • A good leader is passionate: someone who is driven by a passion about his or her work to improve the current situation. 
  • A good leader has courage: someone who rises and takes initiative in difficult times. 
  • A transformative leader is an inspiration: someone who inspires, encourages, and helps other people achieving improvement.

In this spirit, Sight and Life has announced the Sight and Life Nutrition Leadership Award 2019 to be presented this November at the SUN Global Gathering in Nepal.
