Leadership isn't about showing off.
It's about showing up - for others.
When you lead, you either lift people up,
or make them doubt themselves.
What to do as a leader:
✅ Believe in them before they believe in themselves
↳ Show them the strengths they didn’t know they had
✅ Ask powerful questions
↳ Help them think, not just follow
✅ Amplify quiet voices
↳ Make space for the ones who rarely speak
✅ Celebrate their wins
↳ Shine the spotlight - publicly and often
✅ Step back on purpose
↳ Let them lead even when you could do it faster
What to avoid as a leader:
❌ Taking the credit
↳ Don't claim ownership of your team's ideas
❌ Solving every problem
↳ Resist jumping in before others can contribute
❌ Dominating conversations
↳ Listen first. Speak last.
❌ Highlighting only your wins
↳ Make your team feel seen and valued
❌ Creating dependency
↳ Encourage independent decision-making
Empower others to see their potential.
The best leaders create new leaders.
