Leading With Respect I was brought up to respect people, and it is a value I hold in the highest regard. So I was immediately intrigued when I received a book centered on the very subject of respect, from my dear friend @Twejaka. I found myself curious about how @marcysyms navigated respect, and what it truly meant to lead with it. In “Leading With Respect”, she reflects on her journey as CEO of a family-owned business, learning the ropes, applying herself fully, and never taking anything for granted. She shares insights into the successes and challenges she navigated, and the pivots the business had to make along the way. She also writes about leading as a woman, and how she used her position to support and propel other women into leadership. But what stayed with me most was her articulation of respect. She didn’t just speak about it, she lived it. First as a personal value shaped by her upbringing, and then as a value intentionally embedded across the business in how they dealt with and related to customers, service providers, colleagues, and staff. Respect was a value that held steady in both good times and difficult ones. Respect was true North Star. I love the powerful reminder that in treating people with respect, no detail is too small. That is how respect is made visible. #Leadership #LeadingWithRespect #Reflections

She Stops “When I was young, because I went to school and could read and write, my mother would take me along to her women’s groups. I would teach them about nutrition and basic literacy. It was my joy when a woman told me she could now read her daughter’s letters.” Right there in that simple exchange between a young girl and a grown woman, purpose found Dr. @hildatadria She was ready to pursue a diploma in social work at Nsamizi Training Institute for Social Development. She wanted to work with women. That was clear. But then the late Miss Warren of Gayaza High School invited her for tea and asked a gentle, disruptive question: Why not university? When Hilda explained her plans, Miss Warren told her that social work could also be pursued at university. She urged her to apply. Hilda did. And the rest is history. Dr. Tadria went on to become the first female PhD holder in Sociology in her context. At Makerere University, she helped establish the institution’s first counseling office long before student wellness became institutionalized. Before that, girls with struggles would quietly speak with trusted female teachers, seeking advice in informal corners. She later left academia and became a leading voice in gender mainstreaming, working across institutions and systems. In every sphere of work she encountered patriarchy. The subtle dismissals. The overt resistance. The persistent assumptions that women were less than. But she also encountered mentors and people who recognized her leadership before she fully owned it herself. No wonder mentorship of women and girls is so central to her life. She mentors because she was mentored. She pioneers because others opened doors. She will stop for a girl because someone stopped for her. Her founding spirit has shaped institutions across the continent. She founded @acfode She was among the founders of @awdf01 and @MEMPROWUganda Institution or no institution, Hilda will always stop for a girl. Because she remembers the many people who stopped for her. Season 2 of Footprints carries her voice, her wisdom, her fire. You will love her story. #FootprintsPodcast #WomenWhoPioneer #MentorshipMatters @CivLegacy_F
