Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general) / retail
English term or phrase: as we lead
When it comes to our own development in fiscal year 2015, we will focus on intentional leadership – which we define as understanding your purpose as a leader and how you show up.
It’s important to the future of our business unit ***as we lead*** the largest workforce at the company.

Does it mean "since we lead" or "while we lead" here?

since we lead / because we lead
Explanation:
I understand it to mean the first of your alternatives. Leadership is all the more important with a large workforce. The fact that this business unit has the largest workforce in the company is the reason why leadership is (particularly) important to its future.
