What good leadership looks like …. “There is a temptation to believe that if you invite someone to your level, you somehow give up some of your position or achievement, but that’s just not true. In Ledecky’s case, no one was confused about who won. No one thinks less of what Ledecky did because she shared the podium. … The lesson here isn’t complicated. As a leader, you have an opportunity to use your platform (in this case, literally) to lift up the people around you. In fact, I’d argue it’s more than an opportunity, it is your responsibility. That’s what Ledecky did, and it might have been the most impressive moment in her legendary career.” #leadership

Leadership. It can be the difference between your business succeeding, being mediocre, or failing. Great leaders consider skills, mindset, and personality when building their team. ❌ They're not looking for "yes men or yes women." ❌ They're also not looking for constant contrarians, even if those candidates are super smart and experienced. ✅ They are looking for people with different backgrounds and experiences. ✅ They are looking for people who believe in common goals, even - and especially - if they don't necessarily agree on how to achieve them. ✅ They are looking for people who believe in both personal and shared success. If you're the smartest person in the room - congratulations, that's awesome! But remember, being the smartest or the best, doesn't guarantee your team's or your company's success. Most leaders know that no one does it alone. Great leaders don't even try. Build your team. Inspire them. Empower them. Celebrate your shared success. #leadership #businessowners #communication #strategy
