What is Leadership?

Most people have it backward.
They think leadership is about being in charge.
(It’s not.)

Thinking it’s all about telling others what to do.

Real leadership? It’s about putting others first.

Look at the best leaders you know.

They don’t hog the spotlight.
They shine it on their team.

They don’t have all the answers.
They ask the right questions.

True leadership is:

1/ Coaching, not commanding.
↳ Guide your team to find their own solutions.

2/ Celebrating others’ wins.
↳ Their success is your success.

3/ Listening with full attention.
↳ Really hearing what’s not being said.

4/ Creating psychological safety.
↳ Where mistakes become lessons, not failures.

5/ Leading with compassion.
↳ Understanding that everyone’s fighting a battle.

6/ Knowing when to step back.
↳ Letting your team own their victories.

The irony?

When you stop trying to be the hero,
you become the leader everyone needs.

Because great leaders don’t create followers.
They create more leaders.

Your title might make you a boss.
But your actions make you a leader.

Choose wisely.
