Real Leadership: It’s About Acts, Not Algorithms 💡 “Do the right thing.” It’s a simple phrase, yet so powerful. When it comes to LinkedIn, doing the right thing isn’t about counting likes, shares, or comments. It’s about impact—the kind that makes someone pause, think, smile, or even feel a little lighter. I found this video I could not stop watching of someone paying for a stranger's gas while they were distracted at the pump. They didn’t do it for recognition or applause, but simply to brighten another person’s day. And that’s what leadership—and life—is about. True leaders don’t lead to be seen. They lead by example, by kindness, and by actions that lift others up. It’s these moments, these small yet mighty gestures, that create a ripple effect of positivity and gratitude. What if we approached LinkedIn like that? Less about promoting ourselves, and more about sharing stories, insights, and ideas that help someone else grow or feel a little more connected. Let’s make LinkedIn a place where we lift each other up, celebrate random acts of kindness, and encourage the type of leadership that leaves people better than we found them. How can I celebrate you today? #theshermethod #LinkedIn

It’s incredible how many people believe that people will automatically respect and listen to them once they obtain a particular title or level of leadership. People who operate from a traditional concept of position & title believe that a large amount of power is granted to them based on their title alone. Leaders who operate from a positional standpoint alone are often unable to look beyond the roles and responsibilities of the title to see how their performance, attitude, and general behavior affect others. As a leader, you can gain more influence by tapping into the “heart” of your team. We need fewer title-driven leaders and more influential leaders because, as a leader, you have the ability to impact a person’s character and behavior — a responsibility you should never take lightly. Inspire your team with our Amazon bestseller, “Unlock the Hidden Leader: Become The Leader You Were Destined To Be.” This book has already transformed countless leaders; now it’s your turn.
