So how is the idea of building a brand related to leadership? Organizations have a brand, but when it comes to leadership, we each have our own "leadership brand". Majka discussed and stressed, "It is equally important for individuals to whittle your own brand down to three words like you would with a company brand." He also explained that leaders come in all shapes and sizes and there is not one ideal way to lead. When building your company's culture, the company's brand should play a role in the company culture. Creating a few values that your company will hold on to will help you live out the company's culture and brand.
