Ashley’s Perseverance
The most important quality of a leader is not a talent or a skill. The one characteristic that a great leader must possess is perseverance. Pat Riley defined excellence as the “gradual result of always striving to do better.” Those who are leading well understand the importance of process and pivoting. They gain valuable lessons from difficulties and are willing to adapt when necessary. It’s easy to assume that the process of leading is instant and immediately gratifying. That is not true. Becoming a strong leader takes time, intention and fortitude.
These are attributes that define Ashley Ashwander. She is a young entrepreneur who is proving that the next generation of leaders has what it takes to persevere. Ashley has faced multiple challenges and obstacles while building her company. This is not a story of how she grew her business into a mega organization. This is a story about a wife, mom and entrepreneur who is constantly striving to do better and achieving the gradual result of excellence along the way.
